After much anticipation, a brand new Directory for Catechesis for the universal Church was released by the Vatican on Wednesday, June 25, 2020.
The launch of the new Directory for Catechesis is a historical moment for our Church. This visionary document provides catechists, religious educators, and the lay-faithful with a reference guide for the teaching and transmission of faith in our modern world. The 12 chapters of the Directory for Catechesis will address important topics, such as: the relationship between catechesis and evangelization, the vocation and formation of the catechist, the process and transmission of the faith, and the function of catechesis in a variety of cultural and institutional settings.
