Our Programs require assistance in many ways:
Coordinators, often catechists themselves, these master teachers assist in the administration, communication, and planning for a grade level and its meetings. They mentor other catechists.
Catechist Assistant, for the safety of the students, another adult is present during the class. He/she can help with projects, or assist should a child become ill. High school students can obtain community service hours this way.
Hall and Attendance Monitors, assist in providing safety and security for our young people when they are in class and at dismissal. They assist in matters of attendance and are able to provide necessary communication links in emergencies.
Traffic monitors, assist in directing traffic in the parking lots to ensure the safety of children being dropped off and picked up.
The Ministry of Religious Education at St. Mary’s is performed through the help of countless members of our community. Life in Christ is communicated in many ways.
