72 years as a catechist!
That’s right…Maureen Power, 87 years of age from Marrrickville (Australia) was recently honored for her 72 years of service as a catechist! She began at the age of 16 and has never looked back.
God bless her and all catechists who dedicate themselves to proclaiming God’s Word to people of all ages! Have a great weekend!
I have been a chatechist for about four years and I still get nervous when I go and stand infront of the class. It scares me sometimes to be responsible of the religious education of my students but, the joy on their faces when they learn something new and beautiful always takes my worries away.
Edith, maybe after a few more decades the nervousness will wear off! 🙂
