Our parish needs youtr God-given gifts. God may be calling you to share your time and faith with the future church, our children. Our Faith Formation program is always blessed to have more parish members serving as catechists, catechist assistants or substitutes.
But how do I know if God may be calling me to the ministry of Catechist?
If you see in yourself several of these traits or others have told you that you possess some of them, then it's time to pray and ask God if He is calling you to this ministry.
