At this time of the year, many Catholics find themselves considering an invitation to become a catechist in their parish. Perhaps you’ve been invited to be a catechist. Perhaps you know someone who is thinking about becoming a catechist. Or, perhaps you are the one doing the inviting.
by Joe Paprocki
God placed a trust in catechists to support their students' needs, to serve them and yet to keep enough sensitivity to support the small and fragile hopes of children:
God placed a trust in catechists to be strong in love, persistent in forgiveness, consistent in sharing all they are with those in their care, and to guide these children in walking uprightly before the Lord.
