"There is also a need for renewed commitment to catechists, who are often young and serving other young people, virtually their contemporaries. It is important to take sufficient care over their formation and to see that their ministry is more widely recognised by the community."

- Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelisation, Directory for Catechesis (2020), 255

This course seeks to prepare young people to serve as catechists or facilitators, by equipping them with a) theoretical knowledge and b) the practical applications of catechesis as follows:

a) Theoretical knowledge of:

• the identity and vocation of the catechist

• the aim and purpose of catechesis

• the Ecclesial Method of handing on the faith

• the planes of development of children and youth, and how this affects the way faith is handed to them

• the Archdiocesan catechetical curricula overview

b) Practical applications of catechesis by providing them with the opportunities to:

• experience how presentations are to be offered in the prayer space through demonstration by trainers 

• participate in group presentations using existing session plans and learn from their peers 

• gain appreciation for how they can play an active role in the catechetical spaces

Young people aged 15-20 who are serving or interested to serve in the catechetical ministry as catechists or facilitators.

Note:

• Parishes are encouraged to send mentors to accompany these young people so as to better support their journey.
  Ideally, mentors are catechists who have completed FCC: ICP & CM, and will also need to register using the link below.
  Please indicate ‘Mentor’ under the choice of track, and choose a level to attend in the breakout sessions with your junior catechists.

• If you are an adult registering for yourself, please attend the full 8 sessions and indicate the level you are catechising, e.g. Level 7, 8, etc.
