PREP Catechists Needed: Be a Builder of Faith for Our Parish
As the new academic year approaches, we are asking our veteran catechists to return and seeking new catechists for the Parish Religious Education Program (PREP). As emphasized by Pope Francis, the ministry of catechist is vital to the survival of our church and the salvation of our children.
What is a catechist?
A catechist is much more than a teacher; a catechist is someone who accepts the ministerial role of building life-long faith formation in those who are not yet fully-initiated members of the Church.
Faith formation has four dimensions: human, spiritual, pastoral, and intellectual.
- Each of our students in PREP need to be formed as humble and compassionate human beings, capable of loving and caring for their neighbor: their brothers and sisters.
- Each needs to be formed spiritually: they need to be formed in an environment of prayer, meditation, and contemplation.
- Each needs to be formed pastorally: They need to be shown how to care for those in need and learn how to recognize those in need of physical and financial assistance and those in need of spiritual or moral assistance.
- Finally, the students in PREP need to be formed intellectually: They need to be instructed in the doctrine of the faith, the Sacramental life of the Church, and the reading and interpretation of Sacred Scripture.
If you want more information on ministering as a catechist, please contact the PREP Office.

send an email to Deacon Frank at DRE@icaparish.org
Stay safe and
God Bless you!
