Applicants must be fluent in both English and Spanish and have experience in parish ministry. See below for more information. Interested candidates may submit a resume, cover letter, and references to Fr. David Marstall, Pastor, 2801 S Seneca, Wichita, KS 67217 or email frdavid@StAnneWichita.org . Applications must be received by Friday, April 26, 2019. Evangelization and Faith Formation at St. Anne St. Anne is a parish of roughly 1,200 registered families in Southwest Wichita. Our families are approximately 45% Anglo, 45% Hispanic, 8% Vietnamese, and 2% other. We operate a parochial school, which about 20% of the children in the parish attend. PSR is held on Sunday mornings for public school students k-8. There are 80-100 students in PSR each year preparing for First Communion as well as another 50-100 students participating in classes for their grade level. This year we have been piloting a program for First Communion in which a small group of parents participate with their children, with the greater goal of teaching parents how to teach the faith to their children. It has been successful and we are learning things to make improvements for next year. All our catechists and PSR director are volunteers. Religious sisters work to help form the catechists. The Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation will become the PSR director. Youth Group meets year-round every week and is highly catechetical in nature. We currently use YDisciple in small groups with two adult facilitators. After a year of catechesis, high schoolers prepare for confirmation through a mentoring process. This program will undergo a major renovation over the next few years according to changes in diocesan norms for confirmation. We are in the process of developing and implementing a process for preparing couples for the Baptism of a child . Inactive candidates meet with mentor couples weekly for 6 months to enter into the life of the parish. The Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation will help to continue developing the program and train mentors. MCP sisters currently help form Spanish speaking mentors. We use ChristLife to help bring adults (including RCIA candidates) into a life of discipleship and then move into ongoing, bi-weekly discipleship groups. Ongoing Adult Faith Formation is offered through a variety of programs, presentations, and special events according to the needs of our parishioners.This year, we will have more than 300 adults involved in faith formation activities. In the past, they have been coordinated and led by the Pastor and Parochial Vicar. The Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation will work to coordinate all activities and assume a more direct role in some, according to their strengths and availability.   Areas of Responsibility The Director will encourage all adults in the parish to recognize their role as disciple-makers of others.

The Director will recruit and train catechists in faith formation and disciple-making.  The Director will work with the pastor, youth ministry team, and other related parish services to conduct activities and/or experiences, which supplement formal catechesis and evangelization programs like ChristLife.  The Director should recognize that effective catechesis involves “family ministry” and should find creative methods of incorporating all people of the parish and their families into all aspects and of parish life, both in and outside the walls of the church. The Director should work with parents to assist them in their role of forming their children in the faith.   Parish Relationships The Director will be accountable directly to the Pastor.
