Parish-based catechesis would not be possible without volunteers willing to take on the role of catechist or helper, sharing their faith with groups of children, young people or adults, depending on the age a volunteer feels most comfortable working with. Currently, catechesis is focused on preparation for the sacraments, children’s liturgy and Religious Education for Children in non-Catholic Primary schools. Other opportunities could be provided but this very much depends on the availability of volunteers. If you would like to know more about being a catechist, please contact Anna at northfieldscat@rcdow.org.uk.
Please note: A DBS check processed by the diocese of Westminster is required for this role.
