Enrichment for the Catechist
Your spiritual life is of utmost importance to your role as a catechist. If we are to evangelize and nurture the faith of our young disciples, our own spiritual enrichment is

paramount. Try to take some time each day to hear God’s voice speaking in your own heart. As you are preparing your sessions, engage in the scriptures that you are teaching and find a good commentary so that you understand them for yourself and spend some time praying with them. Enjoy the 
atechist community in your parish and nurture one another’s faith. Add one new faith practice to enliven your faith. Remember, your smartphone is a valuable tool as there are many apps to assist you.

get your materials ordered. Here are a few ideas to get the wheels turning.

Make a stocking for Jesus..this one can include the parents.
