  • St. Andre Bessette Parish
  • Amesbury, MA

Job Description

We are seeking a mission-driven Catholic disciple who feels called to evangelization through family faith formation. This pastoral role supports parents, children, and volunteers in encountering Jesus Christ and growing together as families of faith. The Director of Family Faith Formation will help families rediscover their identity as missionary disciples and assist the parish in becoming a place where faith is lived, shared, and joyfully handed on. Our parish is ready to move from a traditional classroom-based model to a family-centered, evangelizing approach-one that equips parents as the primary catechists of their children and forms households as disciples. Working closely with the pastor, this person will help discern, develop, and implement a family faith formation program suited to our parish community. If you-or someone you know-feels stirred by this mission, we would love to discern next steps together. 8-12 hrs/week, $25-35/hr commensurate with experience. Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the pastor to develop, organize, and implement an evangelizing, family-focused faith formation program for children and families
  • Coordinate sacramental preparation for First Penance, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation, including rehearsals, ceremonies, and a Confirmation retreat
  • Recruit, train, support, and mentor volunteer catechists, assisting them in their own spiritual growth
  • Coordinate child safety procedures in accordance with state and archdiocesan requirements, including CORI forms and Protecting God's Children / Virtus training for adults, as well as safe-environment lessons for children and families
  • Work collaboratively with clergy, parish staff, and parishioners
  • Maintain professional relationships with local and archdiocesan faith formation leaders
  • Exercise pastoral sensitivity and maintain appropriate confidentiality
Qualifications
  • Practicing Roman Catholic committed to building a culture of discipleship among children and families
  • Understanding of the teachings of the Catholic Church and familiarity with Sacred Scripture
  • Ability to motivate children and parents with flexibility, creativity, and enthusiasm for helping others fall in love with Christ and the Church
  • Strong communication and organizational skills; confident public speaker
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with parish staff and volunteer catechists
  • Commitment to ongoing professional and spiritual development
  • Availability at times convenient to families, including some Sunday mornings and evenings
