The Role of the Catechist

The Role of the Catechist Inspiration and Professional Growth

One of the first questions any new catechist asks is, What s my role? The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops National Directory for Catechesis answers that question by outlining six important tasks for every catechist.

This helpful booklet highlights those tasks and explores essential practices that make faith formation a life-giving vocation. Written by a leader or practitioner in the catechetical field, each chapter ends with encouragement to reflect on a task and to dialogue with other catechists about the wisdom received. Both new and experienced catechists will find inspiration and ideas for their very next session! 199812 ;, Cullen Schippe, Sr. Angela Ann Zukowski, MHSH
