Making Connections

Catechists exercise a vital ministry in the Church. More than just teachers of faith and doctrine, catechists are called to make a lively affirmation of God’s love and presence in the world today. This booklet discusses the dynamic aspects of contemporary catechesis and the spirituality that must guide catechists as they exercise their ministry. Moving from an approach based on the transmission of facts to a personal experience of revelation based on a relationship with God, catechists are active witnesses of the Christian message to their students, to their church, and to the world.
