A catechist leads others in understanding the official teachings of the Catholic Church because of their own personal faith, and love for God.   

With a love for children and a willingness to teach catechists will work with the Director of REligious Education's plan to welcome students and deliver lessons to teach in a classroom setting.

St. Raymond provides teaching and resource materials. We ask catechists to commit to teaching a class for an entire academic year.  Classes begin in September and run through March.

We welcome any person of faith who wishes to lead others to grow in faith and understanding the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
