The qualities of a catechist include:
■ A strong awareness of the working of God’s grace in their lives and a growing faith life in response to that grace.
■ A personal commitment to Jesus Christ who is the center of the message.
■ A strong understanding of love for the Church, evidenced by a personal commitment.
■ A person who can nurture the development of Christian community.
■ An ability to appreciate different types and stages of individual growth and development.
■ An ability to communicate effectively with persons to be catechized and a willingness to continue their own religious formation.
Lesson plans and materials are supplied.
All volunteers must be Safe Environment Trained.
Rel. Ed. Tuition is waived for Catechist's children.
