WHAT IS A CATECHIST?

The word “catechist” comes from the Greek word

“echo”. Catechists echo the Word of God to our

parish children. They come from all walks of life

and all ages: women, men, parents, grandparents, con-

firmed teenagers. Catechists are people, just like you, who

generously volunteer their time to share our Catholic faith

and values with our younger brothers and sisters. They are

positive role models who help children grow in faith and

spirituality. What an important ministry! Through the

words and actions of our catechists, the Good News contin-

ues to spread throughout the world. Interested? Phone

PREP 732.251.1660.

URGE NJ ASSEMBLY TO

OPPOSE ASSISTED SUICIDE

On Monday, March 12, the Assembly Judiciary Commit-

tee released the Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill Act

(A1504). The bill will now be voted on by the General

Assembly. The bill would allow physicians to prescribe

drugs to end the lives of terminally ill individuals consid-

ered to have six months to live. The facts are clear—in

California, Vermont and in Oregon - states that have passed

assisted suicide bills - insurance companies have denied

individuals expensive healthcare coverage but offered them

low cost drugs to end their life.

In an era of cost control and managed care, patients with

lingering illnesses may be branded as a financial liability

for the insurance company, and decisions to encourage

death could be driven by reducing costs.

Please contact your state legislators and tell them that you

oppose A1504/S1072. To take action, visit: https://

njcatholic.org/faith-in-action.

Home improvements happen at church.
