The Effective Catechetical Leader
The Effective Catechetical Leader
Few of us, as children, dream of growing up to become a parish leader!
God has called you to parish leadership.
“The single most critical factor in an effective parish catechetical program is the leadership of a professionally trained parish catechetical leader.”(NDC 54B5)
The formation of catechists is made up of different dimensions. (DC 139-150)
• BEING
• KNOWING
• Savoir-Faire: Pedagogical and Methodological Formation
The Spirituality of the Catechetical Minister:
• Openness to God
• Openness to the Church
• Openness to the World
• Authenticity of Life
• Missionary Zeal
• Devotion to Mary and the Saints
What “utensils” do you rely on to tap into your
soul where the presence of
God seeks to nourish you?
Our spiritual wellness relies on balance and harmony. Without that balance, we find ourselves settling for less instead of striving for more – evidence that our spirit needs healing.
