Regional Coordinator's Message
Thank God you’re here! Welcome to the Parramatta/Holroyd Region page!
We currently have about 170 Catechists/SREs working in schools across the 10 parishes of the region. With the changing demands of society, there has never been a more pressing need for catechetical instruction for our young.
With an average of 50 per cent of Catholic students enrolled in either state or independent schools, the demand for more Catechist/SREs grows year by year. This statistic reminds us of the words of Christ:
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his vineyard.” (Luke 10:2)
Our life experience teaches us that children need someone to give them guidance and help them to grow. Like a newborn, they need some personal attention. Children in our state schools rely on Catechist/SREs for a formal education in their faith that will complement the work of parents who, of course, are the primary educators.
The invitation of Christ to spread the Good News is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. Christ has always relied on the generosity of his followers to go out and spread His Good News to his people.
For this work to take place Christ needs us. He has no hands but ours.Please be generous in responding to the need your parish has in providing Special Religious Education to the children in its local state schools.
