My background as a Catholic religious educator

     My name is Gilles Côté. I am a Canadian living in Ottawa. I taught grades 7 through 12 for 23 years in Catholic schools. Throughout those years, though I also taught a variety of other subjects, the bulk of my teaching assignments focused mostly on religious education. I was Religious Education Coordinator for a number of years in a Catholic High school in British Columbia. Over the years, I have also been involved in faith education in various ways at the parish level and in the larger community: in confirmation preparation classes, in RCIA as a catechist, in Baptism preparation sessions for parents, as facilitator in a faith sharing group, and as a member of a parish pastoral council. As well, for a number of years I was active in the Cursillo movement as a leader. As part of a COR team I also organized several weekend retreats for young adults.
     My educational background: B.A., B.Ph., Certificate in Pastoral Studies, Certificate in Theology. I am presently pursuing my studies in Theology as a part-time student and working part-time as well as a webmaster for the Canadian Association of Second language Teachers.

Mission Statement

     The Resources for Catholic Educators web site seeks to assist Catholic teachers and catechists in their role as educators of the faith by providing them with information and easy access to resources.
