Catechist Formation (Learning) Opportunities, Resources
"By virtue of faith and baptismal anointing, in collaboration with the Magisterium of Christ
and as a servant of the action of the Holy Spirit, THE CATECHIST IS:
A witness of faith and keeper of the memory of God
A teacher and a mystagogue who introduces others to the mystery of God
An accompanier and educator of those who are entrusted to him/her by the Church"
(Directory for Catechesis 113)
Why ongoing formation is necessary for all catechists:
