Catechetical Ministry

About Catechetical Ministry

The Office for Catechetical Ministry collaborates with parish leadership and diocesan offices to form, train, educate, support, and sustain total parish catechesis in the Church's mission of "transmitting the Gospel, as the Christian community has received it, understands it, celebrates it, lives it and communicates it in many ways" (GDC 105).
