Please check your heart to see if God is calling you to the catechetical ministry, and then phone the Catechetical Office at 908-464-8156 so we can give you all the info you need. Catechists are not necessarily professional teachers; they are just ordinary faith-filled adults who love our Catholic faith and enjoy interacting with children and young people.

Your help will enable us to meet this goal.
