catechist"The teaching (of Christ which we share) is not a body of abstract truths. It is the communication of the living mystery of God"

Pope John Paul II (Catechesis in Our Time)

 

Training for new and experienced Catechists is arranged at the request of individual parishes or deaneries.

Training can take the form of day workshops or short courses of evening sessions, usually six. Formation for catechists is often organised for two groups. Firstly, for those who have been engaged in this role for some time and wish to renew or update themselves. Secondly, for new catechists who require development of basic knowledge and skills.

If you would like help in this area, either to run your own course with support from the department or to make use of our basic training course, please contact us.

    "The four days of the Papal Visit brought the Catholic Church in England and Wales to a different and new place, emphasising and enhancing the opportunity we have to live and proclaim our faith in public," said Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham during his homily at a special Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin (8 December).
  • Papal Visit DVD Released
    Celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first State Visit to the UK, the DVD tells the story of the four extraordinary days in September offering not just event highlights, but the Holy Father’s profound words and the true significance of all the components of the Visit.
  • A Call to Freedom
    The UK media has repeatedly stated that Pope Benedict’s visit to Spain has touched on familiar themes. Yet, as usual, it has been left to the Catholic press to identify the central point of his message: freedom. Whilst the secular reports quote the Pope as calling Europe to return to its Christian roots, they frequently omit the reason for such a challenge: freedom.
