MAKE A DIFFERENCE…
BECOME A CATECHISTIf you're a committed Catholic, actively living your faith, with a desire to share "the pearl of great price", please join others like you who share the valuable work of teaching the Faith to our children and adults.
- You can participate as a teacher, but can also serve in many other ways! – helping out in the classroom, providing hospitality, doing the "behind the scenes" tasks, and/or serving at special events.
- "On the job" training is available, as well as amazing advice and support from those already participating in the ministry.
- Both adults and youth need catechists. Let us know your teaching preference and we will work together to lead all who come to Christ and His Church.
Please contact the Faith Formation Office for further information.

the power of catechesis...Just suppose that outside the necessary structure of the Church, there was only one person in all the world who believed in [Christ]. Just suppose that one zealous believer the first year converted one [person] to Christ and His Church. Suppose the next year these two each made a convert; then there would be four the next year. And suppose the next year, these four made one apiece, then there would be eight converts at the end of the third year.Now how many would there be, from that one zealous believer, at the end of only thirty years? There would be one billion, three hundred seventy-three million, seven hundred forty-one thousand, eight hundred twenty four souls…
