Do you have young people in your parish or school that serve in catechetical ministry? If so, we have a brand new training program for Teen Catechists and Helpers.

Who should go through this training program?
All teenagers presently serving or who are planning to serve in any catechetical ministry in their parish or school.

How is the training offered?
The Diocese offers a training for parish trainers so that all of the actual training of teenagers can take place in the parish on an annual or semi-annual basis.

Who can be a trainer?
The trainer must be someone with at least 3 years catechetical experience, at least 21 years of age, like to work with teenagers, and have the recommendation of the DRE or the CYM (can be purchased from the OYM/AC).
