Mission Statement...We are a Catholic family, living our awareness of Christ’s presence through worship, service, evangelization and community for the benefit of all.
Want to share your faith more and help others grow in faith?
Catechists echo the Word of God to our parish children. They come from all walks of life and all ages.
Catechists are not expert teachers or brilliant theologians. They are ordinary people who generously
volunteer their time to share our Catholic faith. Are you seeking a way to share your faith, time and talents with others?
St. Thomas Religious Education department ....
needs you!
Volunteers are needed as:
Catechists (teachers)
Office and resource support
Safety (door/hall) monitors
Prayer coaches
Special retreat/event help
You don’t have to have a child in our program to volunteer! We encourage all adults to prayerfully consider whether this ministry is right for you. We will provide training and support along the way.
