CATECHETICAL MINISTRY

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. –Mark 4:1

School of Religion Summer Hours: Available by appointment.

The Transfiguration School of Religion exists to assist families in the faith formation of their children. The program provides opportunities to learn Catholic doctrine, to share faith, to worship through prayer and sacrament, to connect to our parish community, and to respond to the gospel message in witness and service.

===== Could YOU be a Catechist??

Posted on Jul 26, 2019 in Catechists, Uncategorized |

Catechists DO NOT need to be teachers. They DO NOT need to be theologians. They DO NOT even need to be a “church lady” (or man). They DO NOT need to have all the answers. Catechists DO need to love Jesus Christ. They MUST want to share their faith with children. They MUST be prepared to have their own faith and love grow.

The School of Religion is looking for English speaking catechists for Wednesday evening sessions. Catechists are able to waive a portion of the Religious Education tuition for their children or grandchildren. We provide lesson guides, mentoring, support and instruction both in person or online. If you feel you are being called, please call Magdalena at 847.526.6400 x 239 or email reled@transfigurationwauconda.com for quicker response. We have been praying for you to join us.

Over the last ten years, I have had the privilege of being a Catechist at Transfiguration’s School of Religion. In that time, I’ve enjoyed partaking in the journey the students go through as they learn about their Faith.

I am a catechist because God called me. He wants me to be His instrument and to share His teachings with the children. He wants me to show the children the love He feels for us, and to teach how to love unconditionally, making Him our center of attention for everything that we do here on earth, working happily in our community.

Catechist Reflection from Magen

I recently found an article that stated my reasons quite succinctly ” that they [Catechists] are called to something greater than conventional Christianity; that they have great freedom and opportunity in being called to radical discipleship with Christ. (America:The Jesuit Review, 2010)

This quote is so profound. Through the ministry of Catechesis I have assisted in forming and transforming young minds to be like Jesus Christ. Teaching and molding not only minds, but hearts and spirits to walk in the ways of our Savior. This is perhaps the greatest reason for becoming a Catechist.

The School of Religion is very grateful to our many catechists and aides for their service. It takes many hands and a great deal of faith to bring Jesus Christ to our children. Won’t you consider being a part of God’s team? Please pray on it and call Magdalena at 847.526.6400 x 239 for more information OR RelEd@transfigurationwauconda.com
