Volunteers in the Religious Education Program

Volunteers are invaluable to the RE Program!   The RE sessions are executed by a team of volunteers under the leadership of the DRE and/or CRE.   Together, RE staff and volunteers guide children and families into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Volunteering with the children of our parish is a rewarding, joyful experience.   The RE Program has a volunteer opportunity to suit your gifts and talents – read below to find out how you can contribute to the faith development of the young people of All Saints parish!

The RE Staff supports volunteers throughout their ministry with a volunteer retreat, written and online resources, optional trainings at All Saints, optional participation in the Diocesan catechetical training program, classroom craft supplies, and classroom support, planning advice, and guidance as needed.  Volunteers will also receive training from the RE Staff.
