Catechesis

 

Catechesis is an essential, and remarkable "moment" in the process of evangelization (GDC 63).

The aim of catechesis is to put people in communion and intimacy, with Jesus Christ (CT 5).

Catechesis therefore involves an ongoing, indeed lifelong process of integral Christian formation (GDC 84).

 

While each parish may organise their own programmes for Sacramental initiation and other courses the Diocese also provides ongoing support for the important work of catechesis.

 

The Bishop’s Council for Key Catechists runs Catechists Training Courses and follow-up events and is a valuable resource.

 

For information about events and courses please see the Calendar, NORES News and publicity from the NORES office.
