Catechists
Are you feeling a sense of wanting to serve others? Sharing the faith and teaching the doctrine of the Catholic Church requires the willingness and availability of adults. These are called CATECHISTS. If you wish to become a catechist, please contact our office as soon as possible. We need you: God is calling! Are you listening?
