New Directory: The Catechist
New Directory: The Catechist
October 29, 2020
7:30pm - 8:30pm
In June 2020, The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization released a new Directory for Catechesis.
The first part, entitled “Catechesis in the evangelizing mission of the Church”, treats the formation of catechists.
The Directory points out that in order to be credible witnesses of the faith, catechists have to be “catechized before being catechists.” This involves working with gratuitousness, dedication and integrity, according to a missionary spirituality that is an antidote from “sterile pastoral fatigue”.
Catechists are also called to be vigilant in performing their specific task “so that absolute protection is guaranteed to every person, particularly to minors and vulnerable person.”
Join us for a series of webinars, led by catechetical experts from around the country, to learn more about the Directory and its implications for teachers, parents, priests, and catechists.
If you need a copy, please email institute@diobpt.org and provide your full mailing address. Limited copies available.
