Catequista | Catechist

A catechist is a person that "echos" the Word of God. They are ordinary people that volunteer their time to share the Catholic Faith, traditions, and morals to those seeking to grow in the Faith. As described in the guide for catechists from the Vatican:

"Every baptized Catholic is personally called by the Holy Spirit to make his or her contribution to the coming of God's kingdom.

In short, the catechist in mission territories is identified by four elements: a call from the Holy Spirit; an ecclesial mission; collaboration with the Bishop's apostolic mandate; and a special link with missionary activity ad gentes.

Before doing the catechesis one must first of all be a catechist. The truth of their lives confirms their message. It would be sad if they did not "practice what they preached" and spoke about a God of whom they had theoretical knowledge but with whom they had no contact. They should apply to themselves the words of St. Mark concerning the vocation of the apostles: "He appointed twelve, to be his companions and to be sent out to preach" (Mk 3:14-15)."

Is God calling you to become a Catechist?

Do you have a personal relationship with God and want to grow?
Do you want to help others grow in their own faith?
Do you work well with children, youth, and adults?
Are you happy in your own life and wish to spread God's love to others?

If you've answered "yes" then God may be calling you to become a Catechist. Our Religious Education Program is always looking for help. Whether it be to help children or adults in RCIA, there is a place for you. Our community is strongly rooted in the hispanic culture so we are especially in need of people that are bilingual in Spanish/English.

To have a desire to share your faith with children and young people (or adults in the RCIA Program)
To be committed to quality Catholic education
To take part in the sacramental life of the Church
