A Letter from Bishop Gregory John Mansour: 

Dear Catechists

Your role can never be underestimated. You hold the eternal souls of our youth in your hands. You bring them to Jesus and Jesus to them. Only the priest has a greater role in the parish.

Thank you for preparing your lesson each time. Thank you for training yourself as best as you can. Thank you for praying for and coming to know each one of the children entrusted to your care. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to enter your heart and your classroom. And thank you for your generous service to pass on the beauty of our faith to the children.

+ Gregory
