Catechists & Volunteers Needed

Religious Education (CCD) classes begin soon and we are short of key volunteers to pass on the holy Catholic faith to the next generation.

Please see the list below and prayerfully consider volunteering . . . or even nominate a friend! High school aged youth can volunteer as assistants. Questions email [email protected] or complete our Volunteer Information Form by clicking here.

“Who are catechists? They are people who keep the memory of God alive; they keep it alive in themselves and they are able to revive it in others. This is something beautiful: to remember God, like the Virgin Mary, who sees God’s wondrous works in her life but doesn’t think about honor, prestige or wealth; she doesn’t become self-absorbed. Instead, after receiving the message of the angel and conceiving the Son of God, what does she do? She sets out, she goes to assist her elderly kinswoman Elizabeth, who was also pregnant. And the first thing she does upon meeting Elizabeth is to recall God’s work, God’s fidelity, in her own life, in the history of her people, in our history: “My soul magnifies the Lord … For he has looked on the lowliness of his servant … His mercy is from generation to generation” (Lk 1:46, 48, 50). Mary remembers God. The catechist, then, is a Christian who is mindful of God, who is guided by the memory of God in his or her entire life and who is able to awaken that memory in the hearts of others. This is not easy! It engages our entire existence! What is the Catechism itself, if not the memory of God, the memory of his works in history and his drawing near to us in Christ present in his word, in the sacraments, in his sentinels who awaken in others the memory of God which warms the heart?” – Pope Francis, Homily for the Day of Catechists, 29 September 2013.
