Virtus Training
Faith Formation Catechist (or Teacher’s Aide): Our catechists follow a curriculum outlined by the Department of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Buffalo and are guided by the Director of Faith Formation. The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo requires volunteers (over 18) who have regular contact with children or teens to complete a “Protecting God’s Children Workshop” as well as keep up with brief monthly training bulletins.
Catechist volunteers should refer to the following resources:
Uniform Volunteer Questionnaire and References
Criminal Background Check (See Faith Formation Office for paperwork)
(Total commitment: Two hours of class time 2x/month and about 1 hour of preparation time at home.)
