Course Introduction

Principles and Practices of Catechesis – Part One explores the Church’s vision of catechesis as presented in the Directory for Catechesis and guides the participants in developing a parish vision of catechesis with lifelong goals for maturing in faith. The course then engages the participants in exploring a lifelong approach to faith maturing and a process for creating a lifelong plan for parish catechesis. The principles, practices, and design of catechesis with families, age groups, and the whole community provide the building blocks for creating a lifelong plan for parish catechesis.
