[CCW] Planning Parent Engagement

This workshop equips catechists with practical tools to engage and support parents of children aged 7–12 as partners in faith formation.

Participants will learn how to use parent formation outlines and curriculum plans to help faith grow at home and beyond the parish setting.

[BCC] Scripture

Catechists will deepen their appreciation of Sacred Scripture and Tradition as foundational sources for catechesis (GDC 127), and be introduced to a faith-filled reading of Scripture and the practice of prayer (GDC 175) through Lectio Divina and Ignatian Contemplation.

Through guided reflection and prayer, catechists will be led to foster a deeper relationship with God, allowing Sacred Scripture to become a true encounter with the Living Word.

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.
