Preschool Catechists plan lessons and share their faith using a variety of creative methods designed to help the youngest in our community grow in their faith and understanding of God.  Catechists may have prior teaching experience or presentation experience or may participate in the Basic Catechetical Certificate process in the Diocese of Cleveland.  Volunteers need to comply with the Safety for the Protection of Children guidelines set forth by the Diocese of Cleveland which includes Virtus training and a background check.  Please contact Laurie Jurecki if you are interested in this ministry.
