This will be my 4th year being a catechist and sometimes I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing....but I keep coming back! The kids teach me more than I've ever known about 'being holy' and that being a 'regular person' is perfectly perfect! The time commitment is minimal and the sense of gratitude is astounding...especially when you catch the little light bulb moments on their faces! The teaching material does a great job to guide you so 'professional teaching experience' is not necessary...and there is always support from the staff and fellow teachers. You are never alone with the kids, you either have your teaching partner with you or a parent volunteer so no worries in being alone with a group of kids. I had all these hesitations when I started but I decided to give it a try anyways and I'm so glad I did, it has been an amazing journey! Please consider it, you will be so glad you did....these kids need our guidance and they love this program.
