According to its latest newsletter, the Catholic Community of Wilmington and South Tewksbury are in need of CCD teachers (catechists) for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.
Catechists play such a crucial role in the development of faith for the parish’s children. Catechists can be parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, retired persons and siblings. No teaching experience is required. The program provides volunteers with all the necessary materials and support.
