ATTENTION, All Parishioners who have an Interest in Elementary Faith Formation, Grades 1 - 6: We are currently seeking volunteer teachers (catechists) for the 2007-2008 Faith Formation Year. If you believe that you are being called to live out your baptismal promises by helping form the young children of our parish, if you enjoy sharing your faith stories, if you believe that our young students need to see faith in action, then teaching on Wednesday evenings may be your way to share your God-given talents. We need teachers in all grade levels at both the 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. session times. The commitment is only 1 hour per week, plus prep time. Training, lesson plans, and fellowship is provided.
