Rob's testimonial

Testimonials from our parishes

Participants in the Pathways Catechist Training Program speak out:

Angela: ... I've been teaching for a lot of years, but there were many, many things I've learned today that I didn't know before.

Lance: ... it's so great to have a program where, as a first year catechist, I feel like you are really helping me to bring kids closer to Christ. But I want to give a shout out to all the Christian men out there -- we need more men here!
