Catechists & Volunteers

We have a dedicated staff of volunteer catechists, many who are professional ministers or teachers. Being a catechist involves a great deal of time in class preparation and care. Most of our catechists have been sharing their faith for years in formal and informal settings. Many have received continuing education to improve their skills as well as using their own life experiences to teach about life with Christ and the churches traditions. Our catechists and volunteers lead by examples and are some of the most active people in our parish and community. We are truly blessed by the fine leaders that we have at St. Raphael’s Church. Please pray for our catechists and volunteers as we love our young people to faith in Christ.

How do you become a catechist or volunteer at St. Raphael’s Church? Give a call to the FF/YM Office at 507-723-4138 or drop an e-mail at straphaelspringfield@gmail.com. for more.

NOTE: All catechists and volunteers must complete VIRTUS Safe Environment training as well as fill out a background check and other necessary forms. All active adults will participated in a VIRTUS program as directed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and our local Diocese of New Ulm as we continue to make our children and world safer.
