The Diocese of Trenton is seeking interested individuals to serve as Parish Catechetical Leaders as positions become available. These positions can vary depending on the needs of the parish. Bi-lingual applicants are strongly encouraged to apply due to a projected need in some of our multi-cultural parishes. A Parish Catechetical Leader’s responsibility is mainly for the Religious Education Program; however, the faith formation of the entire community from “womb to tomb” is the mission of Catechesis.
Qualified candidates will determine and strategically plan the faith formational needs for the parish under the leadership of the Pastor. Programs will include the Parish Religious Education Program, Sacramental Preparation, RCIA, and Adult Faith formation. The candidate will be responsible for the recruitment, training and spiritual formation of catechists and volunteers for multiple ministries.
The Trenton Diocese includes 4 counties: Mercer, Burlington, Monmouth and Ocean.
Job Qualifications:
Parish Catechetical Leader positions requires a candidate to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, preferably a master’s degree in Theology/Religious Education, however background and experience will be taken into consideration for a qualified candidate with a lesser degree. Proven leadership skills, and effective oral and written communication skills are necessary for success.
