In Faith Formation, we serve over 1500 children and youth...your time and talent goes the distance! Literally, catechists go beyond textbooks and classrooms. They are people like you and me who seek to be disciples to their own faith community. Catechists connect people to Christ. They create space for faith-centered relationship building. These encounters and relationships form the foundation of passing on the faith to the next generation and in turn transform our own hearts and minds.
Consider being a steward of your time and talent on one of our faith formation teams as a catechist, core team member, or small group facilitator. You also might consider serving as a catechist assistant, substitute, chaperone, or offer hospitality.
