You can help our children in English Faith Formation by sharing your faith, experiences and Good News as a catechist or aide. As you nurture their faith, you will learn and grow as well.

Not sure what being a catechist is all about? Want to help but don't want to teach? There are other roles to fill on the team as well! All are welcome to share their gifts and talents.
