Catechist

Catechist are very important to the life of any parish as they encounter the youth and lead them in formation. An effective Catechist is a witness first and a teacher second. Pope Paul VI is quoted as saying: "Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses." Here at QHR - Wea, any person who feels called to be a Catechist should reflect on Pope Paul VI's words and the following list of characteristics the spiritual life of a Catechist should include: 

• A love of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and of Christ’s Church, our Holy Father, and God’s holy people.
• A coherence and authenticity of life that is characterized by their faithful practice of the faith in a spirit of faith, charity, hope, courage, and joy.
• Personal prayer and dedication to the evangelizing mission of the Church
• A missionary zeal by which they are fully convinced of the truth of the Catholic faith and enthusiastically proclaim it.
• Active participation in their local parish community, especially by attendance at Sunday Eucharist.
