Teaching children and youth is a joyful experience and a wonderful way for adults to pass our beautiful Catholic faith on to the next generation.
As a catechist you will need to:
- Be a person who practices your faith
- Have a solid basis of understanding the basic teachings of the Catholic faith
- Be willing to continue to grow in your own faith
- Train to be on the VIRTUS system from the Diocese of Buffalo, a platform through which we maintain safety for our youth
- Submit to a criminal background check
Faith-filled individuals are always needed to help our young people grow in their love for Christ and one another. Being a catechist is a vocation, a call from God that comes in the heart. If you feel the Holy Spirit gently nudging you to work with children or youth, please contact Sr. Joanne at sisterjoanne@yahoo.com or (716) 297-5010 ext. 202.
