Our Church needs you! Being a catechist is a rewarding gift that you both give to our next generation and that you receive as you see little hearts open and burn with the love of God. God created you to reveal a unique part of His heart to the world, and this is your opportunity to share that part of God's heart with others.
Are you Called to be a Catechist?
If you are feeling unsure or nervous, remember that God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called! Consistent support from the RE Coordinator is also given to each catechist to help ensure that classes go smoothly.
