It may seem like the catechetical offices are taking it easy and enjoying the quiet days of summer, but that is far from the reality. Summertime is a time for cleaning and sorting office space, ordering materials needed for the fall, registering children and youth for classes, recruiting and training volunteers, and some parieshes are offering Vacation Bible School. Everyone is excited to be back physically, after a year and a half being away from friends and fellow parishioners. This fall, we remain cautious and ever mindful of the health and safety of everyone. All parishes will be following the guidelines of the CDC, State of California and local governments, including school districts. Masks will be required for everyone, while inside during the catechetical programs, regardless if vaccinated or unvaccinated. Cleaning and sanitizing will be done in every space, and hand sanitizer will be readily accessable. We continue to pray for all those who are impacted by the Pandemic, the isolated, the sick, the health workers... We all look forward to the start of a good and healthy year! Mission Statement: Catechetical Ministry forms adults in the foundational beliefs of the Catholic Church and assists them in the training and catechizing of others.
