Please review our Catechist page
Many people catechise in the Church, teaching the principles of the faith to those preparing for a sacrament.  Parents and godparents, for example, have a particular role to play in the education of children in the faith after baptism, and pastors have a particular responsibility to see to the “catechetical formation” of the people in their parishes.

A dedicated team of volunteers consisting of parents, high school teens, and adults give their time and share their talents to teach students enrolled in our Faith Formation Program.  Please review our Catechist page for information on volunteering and teaching.
