At our Catechist In-Service meeting the other night, our Elementary Faith Formation Coordinator told us her Top Ten Reasons Catechists Volunteer to teach the faith to children.
#10 – Because we care about others.
#9 – Volunteering fills our Need to be Useful, Helpful
#8 – Provides a Sense of Purpose
#7 – An opportunity for Socializing
#6 – Feeling of Achievement
#5 – Teaching is a Challenge
#4 – Demands Creativity
#3 – Develops Leadership
#2 – Allows Self-Expression
And the number one reason why Catechists volunteer is…
#1 – Catechists are responding to a Calling . . . or an e-mail.
