Catechist Formation

All members of the community of believers in Jesus Christ participate in the Church’s catechetical mission.
(National Directory for Catechesis #53)

The Catechists “exemplify the manner in which we cooperate with God’s grace to ensure the growth of faith and remind us that it is God who causes the growth.” (NDC #53) As such, catechists are appreciated and valued. We have an ongoing need for those who have a sincere desire to serve the people of God by handing down faith to our children, teens, and adults.

St. Gabriel the Archangel supports all catechists with an ongoing program of formation that leads to certification by the Diocese of Phoenix. For a list of formation sessions for the upcoming year, click here.Schedule
