Unfortunately, we have a good number of students for whomthere is no one to catechize them. We need faith filled people to teach these classes so that all our children canreceive adequate formation in the faith. Teaching children their faith is important for they will be the future of ourChurch. Catechists do not have to have children in the program and you can share the duties with a spouse, friendor even a teenage son or daughter. We provide all the materials and support you need. Think about it. In this Yearof Faith, why not make a commitment to keep the faith going strong by becoming a catechist to a group of ourchildren.All volunteers over 18 must fill out a volunteer registration form and attend a VIRTUS (Protecting God’sChildren) session.
