Parish catechists have demonstrated leadership in the Partnership Agreement by tending to their own faith formation. Our parish pledge is to provide opportunities for faith growth at every age, while individuals and households agreed to participate in a parish educational program. A spring survey of catechists about last year's continuing education and faith formation opportunities elicited comments such as, "All of these have benefited my faith formation. It renews and refreshes my love for God, the church, and all its teachings."
