Catechists' Essentials

Come Holy Spirit! Come by means of the most powerful intercession of Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved spouse.

 

As the new Coordinator of Religious Education (CRE) at Rusk County Catholic Community, I rely on your prayers and guidance of our Pastoral Administrator Father Gene Murphy and his pastoral team. 

Please follow our Twitter (@RuskCRE) for updates on important Catechetical moments, events, and opportunities, appropriate for this Year of Faith (Oct 11, 2012 - Nov 24, 2013) and New Evangelization.  May we grow deeper in faith through our creative efforts to know, love, and serve Him. Amen.
