Catechist Certification Courses (2023-2024)

There is no better way to retain your catechists, than to train your catechists!

This Summer 2024, Delores Nelson will be offering CAT101-CAT105 courses at St. Thomas a Becket. The direct link for registration: https://forms.office.com/r/xMCafk0M8E. An informational flyer may be accessed here: Delores Nelson-St. Thomas a Becket.

Please click here to learn more about the catechist certification courses at St. Raymond's in Springfield (Delores Nelson), St. John the Baptist's (David Wallace) and St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Fredericksburg (Katherine Evans), around the Diocese.

All adults are welcome - Catechists, Aides, Parents, Parishioners - future volunteers!

Please consider inviting some catechists to become certified (either online, or through these courses). Let them know that the Diocese is providing this training for them and you would like them to become certified. Invite them to help build your program! This is a great way to prepare future leaders and teachers in your parish.
