Catechesis - Unpacking the Gift of God

In the New Testament St Paul teaches that our new life in Christ is a gift, he writes: “for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is …the gift of God.”   (Ephesians 2:8)

Our faith, like any gift, needs to be received and unpacked. Catechists need to be properly equipped, with both training and ongoing support, so that they can effectively help others to receive and unpack the precious gift of the Catholic faith.
