We have several different venues for volunteering:  __//**Helpful attributes:**//__ We are looking for folks who will be faithful to their commitment, who love children, and who are impassioned by their faith.  __//**Time Commitment:**//__ Our season begins in mid-August and extends through May. Depending on what role you assume, commitment may range from weekly to every once in awhile. Catechists are encouraged to attend Catechist Formation modules.  __//**Training Requirement:**//__ Safe Environment training is required. Catechists are also encouraged to attend Catechist Formation modules.  __//**Fingerprinting Required:**//__ Yes.
