All of our classes depend largely upon volunteers to teach the classes and on the attendance of the children after the classes start. Training is available and necessary for all catechists, new and returning, and that training will be provided. The work of catechists is vital to preserving our Catholic legacy, and is a rewarding ministry. There is no better way to instill the faith in your children than by sharing in their religious education as a catechist. Catechists (teachers of religion) and adult assistants are always needed.
Our Catechists take special care to teach our children and the memories of the lessons are what keep our children interested in learning more about their Catholic faith and how special they are to God. These things are what will carry them through their lifetime. We hope many parents will consider teaching. This program builds upon the foundation that you have given and continue to give your child. If you are interested in being a catechist, please indicate in the space provided and we will call you.
The Religious Education Advisory Board is also seeking members. Please indicate your interest in the space provided on the registration form. The board assists the director in the decision-making process involving the religion program and its participants. Many thanks for supporting the St. Luke Religious Education program.
