Our program relies on the generosity of time and talent of volunteer catechists. Each year, we need around 50 volunteer catechists to teach children from Pre-K to 4th grade. Two catechists are assigned to each classroom, which may have up to 15 children (10 children for Pre-K).
We provide training and supplies, as well as continued support throughout the academic year. Please prayerfully consider volunteering, and sign up using the form on the right for your preferred grade/day/time. As classes fill, we may add additional classes.
Key Information
For children in grades Pre-K through 4th grade.

Some grades may have two classrooms per session.

To support a safe ministry environment for our volunteers and young people, all adult volunteers (ages 18 and older) must take the online Safe Environment Training course and complete a background check. This must be completed before your first volunteer opportunity. To become certified or to check the expiration date of your certificate, please visit the Diocese website.MANDATORY CATECHIST WORKSHOP
