~ A Catechist ~

Someone who formally hands on the faith of the church
to learners of all ages. Around our country next week-
end, the Church honors those who share in its teaching
ministry through a special rite of commissioning and
blessing.

Please remember in your prayers all of our teachers and
catechists in the parish and school who will be commis-
sioned next weekend and who count on your ongoing
support to sustain them in this important ministry.

The parish wishes to thank all catechists for being such
wonderful examples of living for the Lord!
