We Need You – To Be a Catechist!

We rely on our wonderful volunteer Catechists to teach the children. Please consider volunteering so that every class will have a Catechist and an Aide. The Religious Education Fee is waived for parents or a grandparent who volunteers to serve as a Catechist. Training is provided!
