Catechists

Catechists are volunteer adults from the parish who give of their time and their talents each week from September to May. Their commitment to teach children in the parish about the wonders of God is their stewardship…their desire to give back to God for his generosity to them. We register over 1100 children for our parish program, but realistically, we would be unable to do so if not for the catechists.

We would have no parish program at all without the catechists. It is with this in mind that I ask all parents whose children participate in our parish program to consider their role as catechist. There are resources available to help you understand the role of catechist and the commitment involved. Please call the PREP office (610-489-4677 X36) with questions and for information.
