St Charles Borromeo Parish Ryde currently have 18 dedicated Catechists and helpers involved in teaching scripture at Putney and Ryde Public Schools. They are well supported by Fr Paul and the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) from the Sydney Diocese.

In addition to this, we are fortunate to have student Catechists from Holy Cross College as part of our St Charles Borromeo Catechist Group. These fine young men assist us in taking the Good News to the Catholic children in our local state schools.

We have a meeting once a term (meeting room at St Charles Borromeo) and perhaps you would like to be an observer at one of these. You would be assured of a warm welcome.

All volunteers working with children need to undergo a child protection check and a basic accreditation course.

Classes are Wednesday (Putney) and Friday (Ryde) mornings and are for approximately 30 minutes.

If you would like information about becoming a Catechist please contact our Catechist Coordinator, Merryl F, through the Parish Office.

This is an initiative of the St Charles Borromeo Catechist Ministry
