Countdown of Our Holy Ceremony
Every time we use the words Our Lady’s Catechists we are proclaiming to others and reminding ourselves that we are members of that section of the Church’s teaching ministry and speaking not for ourselves but for the Church.
Significance of our Logo: Mary, Seat of Wisdom. Mary is the Seat or Throne on which Jesus stands. Her body, her hands hold Him up to all people, whom He blesses while His sceptre shows that He is the King and the world is His Kingdom.
Mary by her YES was the instrument of the salvation of the world.

He is the King and the world is His Kingdom
You should have desire to pass on their love and knowledge and an ability to undertake the study involved.
Master Catechists are people of faith...
Christianity is not a philosophy of life or a collection of ethical principles. Christianity is a relationship of love with a divine Person, Jesus.
That means that religious education can never only be about learning “facts.” It is about growing in our love for Jesus and our belief that he shows us God’s loving design — for our lives and for our world.
