Teacher - PSR

Our catechists enrich the spiritual development of our students by leading them to unique encounters with Christ. They do this in a variety of ways: by what they say and do in the classroom, as well as by their words and actions as they participate in parish life and in the larger community. Catechists work with the parents of our students to help the children in their care see how God works in the Church, in the world, and in their lives.
