The role of the catechist is a vital ministry for the Church. Through the catechists’ word and action, the message of Christ continues to have a place in all human affairs.
WHAT DOES A CATECHIST DO? The primary goal of a catechist is to model God’s love to others. As a result, the primary requisite of a catechist is a love for God and a love for children. A catechist develops a lesson plan and uses that plan to teach in the classroom. By creating the lesson plan, and adding their own personality, the catechist ultimately designs and structures experiences for youth that help them grow in their personal faith and spirituality. The catechist passes on to youth a set of shared meanings and values that are Catholic and Christian. A catechist also initiates others into the faith community, into its life, its worship, symbols and practices.
