Most of our catechist volunteers are former parents who lived the Family Catechesis experience and decided to give back out of their immense gratitude. Both parents and children participate and grow in their faith during this process. Many parents become lifetime faith-sharing friends after this experience.


Here is what some of the parents in Family Catechesis have said:

“… coming as a family was the best thing that I could do for my kids.”

“…Everyone is involved, friendly and inviting...”

“We hear what our children are learning and we can help answer or review the questions

our children may have.”

“We got to know other families and we really learned about our faith.”
