St. Agnes issued the following announcement on July 19

As Members of the Body of Christ, we are all called to pass on our beautiful faith to others: To share Jesus with the world. Sometimes it is hard to find opportunities to fulfill our commitment to Jesus.

NEVER FEAR. JESUS PROVIDES! The perfect opportunity is right here in your parish. Sharing your faith as a catechist is a great way to impact the future of the Church and to respond to Jesus’ request

If you are not quite sure if being a catechist is for you, here are some things to think about:

Top Reasons to Become a Catechist

1. You will grow in your own faith, learn the teachings of the Church, and deepen your relationship with Jesus. 

2. Your Baptism calls you to share in Jesus’ ministry. 

3. Children, teens, and adults in today’s world, more than ever, need to hear the Good News of Jesus. 

4. Children, teens, and adults in today’s world, more than ever, need to encounter good role models of faith. 

5. You have much to share with those you’ll teach, and you’ll have opportunities to share faith with other catechists. 

6. Today’s catechetical textbooks/resources offer outstanding support. 

7. You’ll be challenged, you’ll have fun, and you’ll make new friends. 

8. You’ll be helping people deepen their relationship with Jesus. (You’ll be evangelizing!) 

9. You’ll be handing on a 2000-year-old Tradition that changes lives

It’s our job: Jesus sent us to “go and teach all nations.” (~ Joe Paprocki, Catechist’s Journey)
