Catechist   \ˈka-tə-kist\   from the  Greek meaning “to echo.”  

Catechists are entrusted with the responsibility of handing on the faith to children and teens.  They bring the Good News of Jesus to the youngest members of our community.

Volunteers receive training before they engage in this ministry.  Theological education is provided at various levels including the instruction presented at the gatherings of Generations of Faith. 

The guidelines of the Paterson Diocese are followed.  All volunteers are interviewed, attend VIRTUS, particpate in a background check and sign a code of conduct. 

We are very proud of our parish catechists !
