Is God calling you to be a catechist?

​​So, what is a catechist, exactly?
The word catechist comes from a Greek word meaning "to echo".  Catechists echo the Word of God to the children of our parish.  Catechists come from all walks of life and are all ages. They are ordinary people, just like you, who generously volunteer their time to share our Catholic faith, values, and traditions with our youngest generation of Christians and to walk beside/bear witness to them. They are positive role models who help children grow in faith, spirituality and their relationship with God. Their gift of time and talents has tremendous value because through their words, actions, and expression of love for their students, the message of Jesus Christ continues to spread throughout the world.

Could you be a Catechist?
​
Do you:

• Love God and want to know Him better?

• Do you want to instill that love of God in others?

• Enjoy children and want to be a good role model for them?

• Want to share your faith and help others grow in their faith?

• Want to help children develop a relationship with God through Jesus Christ?

If you answered to “yes” to any of these questions, it may mean that God is calling you to be a Catechist!
