[FCC] Introduction to Catechetical Pedagogy & Catechetical Methods

This course equips catechists with both theoretical foundations and practical skills in the teaching method of the Universal Church.

Participants will learn the aims and pedagogy of catechesis, understand age-appropriate faith formation, and be introduced to the Archdiocesan catechetical curriculum, while gaining hands-on experience in using the Catechism, crafting reflection questions, and presenting in the prayer space.

[ECC] Overview of Church History

This course offers catechists a sweeping overview of the history of the Catholic Church across four major eras: the Early Church, the Medieval Church, the Catholic and Protestant Reformation, and the Modern and Contemporary Church.

Through this historical journey, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the Church’s awareness and articulation of the Deposit of Faith has developed over time. Key historical events and influential figures will be explored, with attention given to their significance and relevance in the context of the Church and world today.

[BCC] Christian Anthropology

This course offers a foundational exploration of the human person—our origin, nature, and ultimate destiny as revealed by God. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of personhood, sin, grace, and freedom, and how these truths ground the Church’s teachings on morality, relationships, human dignity, and sacramental life.

It also highlights key principles essential to proclaiming the faith: the sacredness of life, the unity of body and spirit, and the redemption of humanity through Christ’s Paschal Mystery.

“Be good mentors, so the kids can look at you and say ‘I want to be like you and have the same joy you have’,” he said. “There is no greater gift you can give anyone, except the gift of Jesus,” he said.

What is Catechesis?

Hear our Catechetical Director, Fr Terence Kesavan describes
what is catechesis?

The name of catechesis was given to the whole of the efforts within the Church to make disciples, to help people to believe that Jesus is the Son of God… and to educate and instruct them in this life and thus build up the Body of Christ.
