Are You Being Called to Serve God’s Children?

Faith Formation Catechists play a vital role in the Church's mission of passing on the faith. This ministry of teaching has a special dignity, as catechesis is essential to the Church's growth and mission, and catechists are formally commissioned by the Church each year. Through Family Formation, catechists help families grow in faith together and prepare children for the sacraments. Parishioners who feel called to share their faith and serve the next generation are encouraged to contact the Director of Formation.

Personal testimony from some of our Youth Faith Leaders:

“I have always enjoyed being with the children, and by teaching them, it helps me deepen my own  faith.  I believe it is a great way to give something of myself back to our parish.”
 
“Children are a constant reminder of God’s love and all the things we seem to take for granted in our daily routine.  I look forward to spending an hour of sharing God’s Word together.”
 
“It has been very rewarding to see the children learn the basic prayers and important stories of our Catholic faith.  It is a great feeling to know you are making a positive impact on young children – and Notre Dame makes teaching the lessons so easy!”
