Religious Education Volunteers Needed

Faith: The Next Generation - Pass It On! - Boldly go where many have gone before and help pass on the Good News of Jesus Christ and our Catholic faith! This fall, over 300 children and young people, grades kindergarten through grade eight, will sign up to learn more about Jesus and our Catholic faith. As of this time, we are in need of two fourth grade, two fifth grade, and one sixth grade catechists to teach them. You can help by becoming a catechist for Religious Education.

As you nurture the faith of our young, you will learn and grow as well. Religious Education classes begin on September 7, 2025. We will have a meeting for new staff prior to the start of the year. Please contact the office at religioused@stchristinaparish.org with questions you may have about volunteering.

Classes for 2025-2026 will be on

• SUNDAY from 8:45 AM to 10:15 AM
• TUESDAY from 5:30 PM to 7 PM

All volunteers must have a background check and Virtus training prior to volunteering. The required paperwork for working as a volunteer in the parish is found by CLICKING HERE.

Volunteer Catechist: We are looking for young adults 18 and over to teach your faith to students in grades K through 8. We ask that you would be reliable, responsible, and enjoy the gift of our faith. We would ask that you attend our staff meetings three times a year.

Volunteer Substitute Catechists: Our Catechist sometimes have a need to miss a class. We rely on the substitutes to cover a class for them from time to time. This gives you an opportunity to serve occasionally around your schedule. A lesson plan and Teacher manual will be provided to you each week that you substitute.

Office Aides: 7th grade and up - Aides in the main office help to distributing letters and bringing notes to the teachers, early dismissal, preparing materials for classes, picking up attendance from each teacher, and hall monitor.

All of the above are very gratifying! If you are someone who enjoys working with children and are interested in volunteering, please contact Pam Waldrom, Coordinator of Religious Education at 773-779-7181 or religioused@stchristinaparish.org.
