Youth religious education is a total
parish experience involving not just the child, but also the parents,
families, catechists, parishioners, and priests that for the parish
community of faith. Religious education is getting to know Jesus and
learning what is expected of one who chooses to follow Him in the
Catholic tradition. This program reflects an integrated learning
experience composed of learning, catechesis, prayer, sacramental
preparation, traditional Catholic doctrine, biblical studies, liturgy,
service, community building, and other dimensions of vibrant church
life. Through the light of faith, a deeper relationship with God is
developed. Catechists, in addition to meeting with, and
preparing for, regularly schedule classes, attend the Catechetical
Congress in October, Formation Classes that enable them to obtain
Catechists Certification, Advent and Lenten Evening of Prayer, and
usually four Parish Catechist Meetings [September, Advent, Lent, and
May].
In addition to Catechists, parishioners-young and old,
alike-have many opportunities to give of their time and/or talents.
Catechist aides, hall monitors, library maintenance, office work,
baking for various events, publicity, and special event help are among
the varied examples of volunteer service looked for in this Ministry.
