It’s been more than two decades since a pontifical document on catechesis was published. Here, Dr. Carole Eipers focuses on the Directory’s call for a new kind of catechesis—“an itinerary of faith”—as she guides us through the newly named Five Tasks of Catechesis:

  • Leading to Knowledge of the Faith;
  • Initiating into the Celebration of the Mystery;
  • Forming for Life in Christ;
  • Teaching Prayer;
  • Introduction to Community Life.

 Witnesses. Accompanists. Keepers of the Memory of God. These are some of the ways the Directory describes what it means to be a catechist. In this inspiring booklet, Janet Schaeffler, OP, shows us how the Directory affirms and celebrates the vocation of catechists and catechetical leaders, and how each of us is called to this role in different ways. She helps catechists discover the many facets of their call—as builders of community, dynamic animators, creative artisans, and more. With engaging stories and profound wisdom, she helps catechists find new reserves of joy and peace as they respond when God says, “You are the one I need. You are the one who will make a difference.”

 In this booklet, Kathy Hendricks sheds light on the rich and varied ways that catechists witness the Good News through their own personal holiness. Framed by personal stories and inspiration from saints and spiritual writers, she guides catechists through the many insights the Directory offers about how to integrate everyday holiness into catechetical ministry. From spiritual practices to the ways we experience God’s beauty, she invites catechists to tap into the deep well of holiness within them and discover their own “profound ability to attract others to the Good News of Christ and the unending mercy of God.”

The Liturgical Ctechist

 Liturgical catechesis is faith formation both for and from liturgical celebrations. It is how the Church prepares people to celebrate liturgy, and how people are led to reflect on a liturgical celebration after the experience (mystagogy).  It is integral to preparation for reception of the sacraments, and essential for Catholics of all ages to an ongoing lived understanding of the experience of sacraments.
