Catechist Formation

All Catechists and Assistants are volunteers:

  • who have a deep love of God and their faith and a desire to share it with children, adolescents, and adults.
  • who have the time and ability to prepare and present sessions, communicate with children, adolescents, and adults and develop a rapport with them.
  • who are ordinary people, busy with families, jobs (most are not professional teachers).
  • whose ordinary qualities are transformed into extraordinary ones through their openness to the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives and ministry.

Catechists are expected to attend catechist formation sessions. They usually spend about three hours per week preparing and presenting a lesson.

Opportunities to assist in our catechetical ministry include:

If your talents include music (singing or playing an instrument), drama, art, crafts, or clowning, for example, you could also assist in a variety of ways at specific times during the year.
