744-9515 Catechists are those people who are called to serve through teaching, witness, prayer, service and building community. At St. Louis de Montfort, a catechist is someone who utilizes their gifts of faith, patience and creativity to teach children in a particular grade about the Gospel. The catechist prepares age-appropriate lessons and activities for the children, and is guided by a coordinator of religious education, who provides resources, ideas, suggestions and support. Classes take place in the catechist’s home once a week for one hour. Training for catechists is given at several meetings throughout the year.
