As a Catechist, you will have the privilege of journeying alongside our young brothers and sisters in Christ, guiding them as they deepen their understanding of these sacraments and grow in their relationship with God. Your role will be one of mentorship, sharing your faith experiences and knowledge with them while fostering an environment of love, support, and spiritual growth.
First Holy Communion is a moment of great joy as children receive the Body and Blood of Christ for the first time. As a Catechist, you will have the opportunity to prepare these young souls, helping them to grasp the profound significance of this sacrament and guiding them in their spiritual preparation. Your presence and guidance will be a source of reassurance and inspiration as they take this important step in their faith journey.
Confirmation, on the other hand, is a sacrament of empowerment, where young individuals affirm their baptismal promises and receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As a Catechist, you will walk alongside them, aiding in their understanding of the sacrament and its transformative power. Your role will be to ignite the flame of faith within them, encouraging them to embrace their role as active members of the Church and witnesses to Christ in the world.
We recognise that serving as a Catechist requires a deep commitment to ongoing formation and personal growth.
Therefore, we offer resources, support, and opportunities for spiritual enrichment to ensure you are equipped for this sacred responsibility. We believe that as you invest in the faith formation of our young ones, you will also experience personal growth and a deepening of your own relationship with God.
If you feel the call to guide and nurture our young ones in their preparation for First Holy Communion or Confirmation, we invite you to join our parish programs as a Catechist. Together, let us answer the call to plant seeds of faith, cultivate spiritual growth, and witness the transformative power of these sacraments in the lives of our young disciples.
We are blessed with a good team of Catechists, but we need more to join their ranks. Are you up to the challenge?
The Lord calls upon you to be a beacon of light and love to our young ones, and our parish community eagerly awaits your response. Together, let us embark on this sacred journey of faith formation, knowing that through your service, you are helping to shape the lives of these young people spiritually.
With all parents and the parish family, we sincerely thank our committed team of Catechists. Your ministry is valued and needed in our times. THANK YOU!
Canon Michael
