Catechists

Our Religious Education School is made possible through the time and talents
of many volunteers.  From catechists, to assistant teachers, to office staff
everyone plays a very special role in bringing the knowledge of Jesus to the
children of St. John Newman Parish.

Catechist Prayer

Here I am Lord.

I am not worthy to be the one to teach your truths,

But you, in your infinite wisdom,

Have called me to this place.

Give me the wisdom to use my abilities for

The good of your kingdom.

Give me the courage to be a witness of the Gospel.

Give me the grace to deepen my Faith

So that I might share that Faith with others.

With your help, I will speak your words.

Reveal your presence

Show your love

Now and all the days of my life.

Amen.

Teaching Jesus to our little ones is a very important ministry in our
Church.  If you feel you want to participate in this ministry please contact
