Catechists Needed for 2025-2026… Why You?

Please take some time to discern becoming part of this amazing ministry for our children.
All materials, lesson plans and support are provided for you. If we don’t teach our children about God, then the world will! We need to continue building our Young Church and the only way to do this is to ignite the flame and increase the desire for God in these young children.
We are asking you to use the courage, freedom and responsibility that God gave you to take charge of the faith formation of our children.
At your child’s baptism you were asked this question…”In asking for Baptism for your child, you are undertaking the responsibility of raising him(her) in the faith, so that, keeping God’s commandments, he(she) may love the Lord and his(her) neighbor as Christ has taught us. Do you understand this responsibility?” And your firm answer was WE DO.
By practicing your faith, you set an example for your child, you send an authentic message to your child and by doing this you will teach your child to become a saint.
In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.” When you go to the Lord, your children will learn to go to Him too!
