Catechists

The Pope's prayer intention (December 2021)

Let us pray for the catechists, summoned to announce the Word of God: may they be its witnesses, with courage and creativity and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

You are called to share your faith!

God calls every Christian to explain and proclaim their faith. This starts with your testimony of life as a Christian. Being a catechist is a vocation! The Directory for Catechesis (2020) underlines that catechesis and evangelisation are closely linked. Every catechist is also an evangelist, not only explaining but also proclaiming the faith. Catechesis is much more than passing on dry knowledge: it means sharing a living faith and understanding. The best way to be a better catechist is to grow in faith yourself. The material of Tweeting with GOD and How to grow in faith can help you do so.
You may have many questions about this: the Tweeting with GOD app can help you find answers.
