Joe,
I am more an occasional catechist these days. My main ministry is to direct/coordinate the parish’s religious education program for children and RCIA for adults, and assist with a regional public high school group that gathers for various Catholic experiences 4 times a year. I’ll step down when what I do becomes a job or the parish deems my position to no longer be necessary.
Have a great summer.
Kathy
Thanks, Kathy…I hope you have a great summer too!
