Updated Information--Faith Formation K-8 Needs Your YES!

You might be thinking, "I've seen this bulletin announcement for weeks now, don't they have enough catechists yet?" Well, we're thrilled that many parishioners have stepped up to teach our kids, but we still need more! Here's the deal - we want to have 2 catechists in each classroom, so we need to double our current number. It would be awesome if we could recruit enough catechists, which is why we're reaching out to you. Please think about joining us and learning more about this vital, volunteer role. The following are the openings we have:

Sunday from 9:00-10:00 am

• We would love to offer a Kindergarten class if we can recruit 2 catechists.

Sunday from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm

• We need 2 catechists for our 6th Grade Class
• We need 1 catechist for our 3rd/4th/5th Grade First Year Prep Class

Tuesday from 4:30 to 5:30 pm

• We need 2 catechists for our 4th/5th Grade Sacrament Prep Class

Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:30 pm

• We need 1 catechist for our 4th Grade Class
• We need 2 catechists for our 4th/5th Grade Sacrament Prep Class

To be a catechist, you will need to be fingerprinted and background checked. We supply the teaching materials and even train if you are new to the ministry! Having energy and love for children and our Catholic faith makes all the difference. It will require 1 hour of prep time at home and 1½ hours at church (1 hour class, plus 15 minutes before class and 15 minutes after class). Please prayerfully consider volunteering if you have the time. Being a catechist is a very rewarding experience and it is a great way to give back to your church community.
