Welcome to Catechesis: Introduction to the Church’s Vision of Catechesis

Welcome to Catechesis: 

A Four-Session Online Introduction to the Church’s Vision of Catechesis

Offered in February & March

The National Community of Catechetical Leaders will be offering “Welcome to Catechesis” which is designed for parish leaders, catechists, and interested adults (parents, volunteers, college students, etc.) in the parish who want to learn about the Church’s vision of catechesis today.  Perfect for new catechists, in school and parish programs, to learn more about faith formation.

Each weekly 75-minute online session addresses a key question for handing on faith in our time: 

  • Why does the Church offer catechesis? 
  • What is evangelizing catechesis? 
  • Who is involved in catechesis? 
  • How do we put the vision of catechesis into practice? 

$100 per person for all four Zoom sessions.  Two program options are:

  • February Program on Thursdays:

February 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026 (7:00-8:15pm ET)–On Zoom

  • March Program on Sundays:

March 1, 8, 15, and 22, 2026 (5:00-6:15 pm ET)–On Zoom
