2026 Level I Part 1 - Adult Formation Course

Saint Andrew Catholic Church

July 19–23, 2027 & July 26–29, 2027

9:30 AM to 4:30 PM each day

This registration form reserves your spot for the first part of Level 1 training, which offers an immersive week of formation designed to deepen your understanding of CGS and strengthen your role as a Catechist. Level 1 Part 1 will guide you in cultivating a prepared environment for children to encounter God through sacred scripture, liturgy, and prayer, allowing them to explore their natural curiosity about God's love and presence.

Throughout this course, you will explore the foundational elements of CGS, focusing on how to foster the spiritual development of children while presenting lessons that invite them into a deeper relationship with God.

A light breakfast, snacks, and lunch will be provided each day. While childcare is not available, we are gathering interest for potential arrangements.
Priority registration will be given to Saint Andrew parishioners, with the remaining spots allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Once your registration is submitted, you will receive a confirmation by the latest, June 1st, with further details about your spot and course fees and instructions on how to make payment.

Meet the Formation Leader:

Sr. Monica Vianney Tuyet-Nhung Le, OP

Sr. Monica was born and raised in Vietnam as the tenth of twelve children. From a young age, she was deeply involved in the Church, serving in the choir, participating in the Eucharistic Youth Movement, and volunteering as a catechist. As a teenager, a catechist told her that religious life would allow her to pray more for her family. Those words sparked a desire that would eventually lead her to religious life.

At 18, Sr. Monica began discerning with the Lovers of the Cross Sisters. Shortly afterward, her family immigrated to the United States, and she continued discerning her vocation here. Eight months after arriving, she entered the Vietnamese Dominican Sisters in Houston, Texas.

When she received the Dominican habit, she took the name Sr. Monica Vianney, OP. “Monica” reflects her original desire to pray for her family, while “Vianney,” after St. John Vianney, reflects her growing desire to pray for the salvation of souls.
