CAtechists
“Being a Catechist is the most spiritually fulfilling thing I have ever done!” ~ Rose
Catechists who are willing to help in our public schools teach children about God and His love for all.
Jesus always picked those willing to follow his way by “making the willing able”.
We do not expect you to teach as soon as you begin. You can start as a helper.
A helper assists a Catechist in class and is not required to give a lesson; then, when you feel ready and have begun training you may like to start to prepare lessons and teach.
If you would like more information about the mission of a Catechist or Helper, please contact CCD Sydney or your Parish Coordinator. Details are on the back of this pamphlet.
