We are delighted to welcome back to Singapore the founding formation leaders who have set ablaze the light of the Catechesis of Good Shepherd here. This Day of Recollection presents a rare opportunity to meet these formation leaders as they lead us into deeper reflection of our work. We invite all current, past and future CGS catechists to join this gathering as we journey with the children.
Anne Delsorte has been the Vice-President of The Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Australia since its inception. Anne’s involvement with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd began in 1996 in Brisbane, where she currently works with children in the Graceville Atrium. She has also been serving as Formation Leader since 1999 and as member of the International Council for CGS since 2007. Together with Mary Hare, Anne was integral in bringing the catechesis to Singapore, having conducted the first formation here in x and formed many more batches of catechists in Asia since.
Anne Diamond currently oversees the Executive Committee of The Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Australia, having been elected to the Board in 2018. Anne has been a CGS catechist since 2001 and serves in the CGSWA Atrium in Scarborough, Perth.

Where: {Event_Location}, map below
For those driving: Use St Patrick Road to enter the school. Turn right after the gates and drive straight - the venue is at up ahead at the end of this road. You may use the parking lots along that stretch.
For those coming by bus:
Along Maring Parade Road
- Alight at the first bus stop after Telok Kurau Road, "Opp Blk 57 (Bus Stop No. B92071)", on the same side of the road as La Salle House. Continue walking ahead in the direction of traffic. You will walk past a condominium, and up ahead you will come to a small gate that leads directly to La Salle House.
Along East Coast Road
- When coming from East Coast Road, "St Patrick's Secondary School (Bus Stop No. B92159)", you may find that the main gate to St Patrick's School is closed, so continue walking forward a few metres and turn left onto a side road, also called East Coast Road. At end of that road turn left, and you will be in front of another entrance to St Patrick's School/ La Salle House.
About La Salle House
La Salle House is the brainchild of the De La Salle Brothers to re-purpose its former student dormitory into a Formation Centre.
With its modern facilities and amenities, it is a sanctuary for formation programmes and informal gatherings. It is also an ideal venue for day conferences and stay-in retreats. Spread over four floors, La Salle House offers a welcoming sanctuary for guests to recharge, refocus and revive their spirits, minds and bodies.
We look forward to celebrating the end of our catechetical year together as one big community!
