Catechist Formation

Catechists are those who pass on their love for Jesus Christ through example, prayer, and teaching.  This requires a personal commitment to Jesus as God and Savior and is expressed through active participation in the Liturgy, personal prayer, moral living, and continued formation.

Our Mission:

To assist parishes as they facilitate the process of creating a culture of mature adult discipleship that is a living, fruitful and explicit profession of faith.   It is important to be mindful that  formation toward discipleship is essential.
