 The
process of formation is the responsibility of everyone in
our parish: priests, staff, ministers, parishioners
as sponsors, godparents, volunteer catechists, and especially
parents sharing our faith by questioning, answering, and
telling our stories. That's really what happens in religious
education! It doesn't happen overnight, or in one year,
but rather in a gradual process over years of a child's
maturing toward an adult Catholic understanding.
The Religious Education program has a staff of over forty-five wonderful volunteers that work very hard to make the program
a success. Each class normally has at least two catechists
and they work together in planning weekly lessons, etc.
If you have children and would like to enroll
them, please call Suzanne
Southworth, Director of Religious Education, at (615) 327-2330
with questions or
email
her. She will be happy to discuss the program with you
and answer any questions you may have. Also, if you would
be interested in teaching or being a teacher's aide in the
program, please do not hesitate to contact her. We have
training classes for those who have never taught as well
as on-going faith formation classes to develop knowledge
and keep current on theology.
