Calling all Catechists and Aides for 2021-2022 PREP year

Do you have:

• a desire to grow in and share the Catholic faith

• a strength of character built on patience, responsibility, confidence, and creativity
• a generosity of spirit, respect for diversity, and a habit of hospitality and inclusion

We are looking for a catechist for Tuesday afternoons for Grade 2

We currently are looking for aides to assist at the following times.
           Tuesday Session (4:40 - 6:00) -  Grades 2, 4 and 5
            Wednesday Session (6:30 - 7:50) - Grades 2, 5 and 7

If you are interested, please reach out to Mrs. Bull, Director of Youth Faith Formation at lbull@mmredeemer.org or call the Religious Education office at 215-412-2251
 

    Everyone has a faith story whether you have witnessed it in your life yet or not.   We all have one.   I know this because through the power of the Holy Spirit, my faith story has led me to this moment in time.    On July 12, I offically became the Director of Youth Faith Formation for our wonderful parish.   This new position combines the DRE position and the Youth Minister position.   In my opinion, it is a vision that works for our parish needs.   I am excited but ultimately, I feel blessed to be in such a position.  I am blessed to work with all the youth of our parish spreading the mission of Christ in both word and deed.   I am passionate in the Sacred Traditions and Sacred Scripture that are the pillers of Christ's  Church.   The children are the future of the Church Universal, I take responsibilty in partnering with their families to equip them with the tools that they need to continue in Christ's mission.

    I look forward to meeting everyone in the month's ahead.    You can expect to see me around our beautiful campus and in the children's classrooms quite a bit.     I encourage you to volunteer or join a ministry that will help you on your journey to your faith story.   My doors  are always open, please feel free to reach out  with ideas and questions for both PREP and Youth Ministy.   My new email is Lbull@mmredeemer.org. 

   God Bless You!

   Mrs. Bull
