Each SPRED Community has three volunteers who elect to take on leadership roles for their group and become the core team.
- A Parish Chairperson, who recruits volunteers, confers with the pastor and parish council on SPRED matters, and who places those with developmental disabilities in their parish group or networks with surrounding parishes to make a placement or accepts referrals to their parish SPRED group that are age appropriate.
- An Activity Catechist, who welcomes each person, prepares the environment, fostering a sense of well being, belonging and assists all to select and concentrate on a preparation activity.
- A Leader Catechist who inspires the Catechesis in our Celebration Circle, stirring memories and helping all become aware of God's presence in our lives.
Core Team Training is divided into two parts over five Saturdays.
Please note there is a nominal fee to cover the cost of training which your parish or SPRED community may cover.
