EVERYONE’S catechetical responsibility flows from the waters of baptism. At baptism, all Christians are commissioned to share in Jesus' ministry. This is an essential part of being Christian. To be baptized is to stand as one of Jesus' disciples, ready to do his work. Please act on this responsibility and become a catechist. For new catechists, training will be provided on February 3
rd
2018, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Salem. Please let María Morales know as soon as possible if you are interested in this wonderful and rewarding ministry.
La responsabilidad catequética de cada uno viene de las aguas del bautismo. En el bautismo, todos los cristianos somos comisionados a compartir en el ministerio de Jesús. Esto es parte esencial de ser cristiano. Ser bautizado es ser uno de los discípulos de Jesús, listo para hacer su trabajo. Por favor actúe en esta responsabilidad y conviértase en catequista.
