Catechists

"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a sheperd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
- Matthew 9:36-38

Family Formation depends on the selfless service of adults who are committed to sharing the Gospel and walking alongside children in their faith journey. If you are interested in being a part of the Family Formation team, please let us know below!

There are many ways to serve!

1. Family Formation Catechists - lead once a month In Person sessions with children to learn more about Jesus's love for them and His Church who continues His mission.

2. Hall Monitors - help us by being available to assist a catechist with any classroom needs, mark the beginning and end of sessions, and assist with cleaning up the areas after classes.
