What is the meaning of catechesis in the Catholic Church?
Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life.

As the 2021-2022 catechetical year prepares to begin, everyone is reminded of our need of people willing to share their faith with our youth as catechists. Training will be provided for the new online program we plan to use. Instruction and encouragement is also available for anyone who feels they are not completely prepared to be a teacher. Never believe you lack the skills needed to teach or that you are deficient in your understanding of the faith. The only necessary tools needed are a love of our Catholic faith and trust in the God who created us in his image and likeness. Trust Jesus when he tells us that he will be with us until the end of the age. Jesus is with us whenever we come together to share our faith, so let the little children come, knowing Jesus walks with us in our classrooms.
God meets us where we are and gives us the strength and knowledge to become the disciples he created us to be. The RE resource team will walk with you and provide guidance as needed. For additional information, please call our Youth Coordinator, Sara Clark, at 512-260-0162 x115 or via email at [email protected]. All catechists, both those returning and our new catechists, are asked to contact her. All are welcome and needed.
