Holy Trinity Children’s Faith Formation

Faith Formation is a life long process of deepening our understanding of the Catholic faith. It requires a conscious effort on our part to participate in activities that allow us to learn and grow. Holy Trinity offers many such opportunities.

Who Teaches Faith Formation?

  • A Catechist (teacher) is a caring individual who is willing to volunteer and share their love of God, their faith and their time with our young people. They are not theologians but they are committed to their own growth as Catholic adults. Class time and lesson preparation take approximately 2-4 hours a week. The curriculum is set for each class.
  • A co-teacher is a helpful individual that attends class each week, and who shares the responsibility for planning the sessions and presenting the lessons.
  • An aide is a kind, responsible individual who is willing to assist the catechist in the classroom with duties such as taking attendance, passing out supplies, assisting with projects, etc.

Can I Volunteer To Teach?

  • Must be a registered parishioner at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
  • A desire to work with our parish children and help them to grow in their Catholic faith.
  • Must complete all necessary documents and must have cleared a criminal background check. Please note, this is required of all volunteers.
  • Successful completion of The Safe Environment Training and Policies, which is required by the Diocese of Dallas for any and all individuals working with and/or volunteering with children.
