Catechists and Volunteers
The success of any Youth Ministry/Religious education program relies on
the help of volunteers. We are always in need of people who would be
willing to give of their time and talent in many different areas. If you
would like to help out, but feel you are unqualified, we will train you! The
best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. Stipends are
also available for catechists and fee breaks for substitutes.
Volunteer opportunities include:
____ Teaching a class as a catechist _____being a catechist aide
_____ Being part of a team of parents to teach a class (one or two
sessions each)
_____ Being a substitute catechist
_____ Being a room parent (helping when needed)
_____ Being a hall monitor during CRE sessions
_____ Providing snacks
_____ Chaperone retreats/youth activities
_____ Help plan service opportunities
_____ Assist special programs
_____ Being on the Youth Ministry Advisory Committee/help plan activities
_____ other
