![]() ![]() Believe it or not, you have now become the primary source of faith education for most of the children and teenagers that come to your classes. This is true and good, but being a catechist should be and is something so much more profound than this. For many it is simply a “side thing,” something you do to “give back” to God. In recent times, the sense of responsibility and mission that is connected with being a catechist has seemingly vanished. It is the subject of the Catholic faith and all that this implies. Your subject is far more important, the most important. ![]() Your subjects and teaching topics are not concerned with literature, math, or history primarily. A catechist is not just an ordinary teacher. What is a Catechist? Perhaps it is fitting to start with what a catechist is not. God will reward you with many blessings for this beautiful gift you have given him. Thank you for all the time, effort, and sacrifice you place in teaching others about the faith which you yourselves love. Your role as teachers of the Church is one that is underappreciated and misunderstood. ![]() Thank you for your yes to God’s call of being transmitters of the faith. ![]()
