Catechists Information
As active and practicing Catholics, catechists share their faith and wisdom with the children of CtR. By using texts and materials provided by well known Catholic publishers, catechists lead our younger seekers with the help of additional resources provided by the R.E. staff. Joining the Catechetical Ministry Team as a catechist is not just teaching the children of CtR, but also witnessing to and sharing personal faith experiences. Each catechist teaches one class per week with the help of a co-catechist and/or an aide.

Formation and training are offered on an ongoing basis for new and seasoned catechists. If you feel called to this ministry, contact the Director of R.E., Linda Watso at [email protected] or the Coordinator of R.E., Adilene Huff at [email protected].
"At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only son from the Father...who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever." To catechize is "to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God's eternal design reaching fulfillment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the meaning of Christ's actions and words and of the signs worked by him." Catechesis aims at putting "people ...in communion ...with Jesus Christ; only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity." (CCC,426)
