FAITH FORMATION Contact: Dr. Robert Berchmans 490-1352 x 216 or natrb@nativityparish.com SEEKING SUBSTITUTE CATECHISTS FOR OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH Parents and other generous adults serving as substitute catechists are another reason why our Religion Education programs are so effective. Many of us might feel called to serve as catechists, but do not feel we have enough knowledge of the faith to teach effectively. Not true remember, God doesn t call the equipped, He equips the called. Our staff, and your fellow catechists, plus God s grace, are there for you! All catechists need training to be effective in the classroom, just like each of us do in our workplace.

Our staff provides personal support and individual training for those with less experience.
