Forming a 3-Dimensional Catechist:

BEING, KNOWING, and DOING

The General Directory for Catechesis reminds us that “No methodology, no matter how well tested, can dispense with the person of the catechist in every phase of the catechetical process.” (156) To that end, the Church needs to ensure that catechists are well-prepared and formed to effectively carry out their ministry. In fact, the Church teaches us that catechist formation must be a priority and that such formation must cover 3 areas: being, knowing, and doing.

In this highly interactive and unique Webinar, master catechist Joe Paprocki will lead catechists through a variety of formation exercises designed to help them grow in these 3 critical areas:

  • Being: formation that helps catechists to discover their vocation and to mature as a person, a believer, and a disciple of Jesus.
  • Knowing: formation that helps catechists to embrace their faith, acquiring sufficient knowledge of the Catholic Tradition they are called to transmit.
  • Doing: formation that helps catechists to more effectively proclaim the message of the Gospel and actively engage participants.

Stay tuned for registration information!

  1. Do please let me (us) know when this webinar becomes available as an archive. I don’t have the physical endurance to do it all in one piece these days, so I really appreciate being able to watch it in pieces. Thank you, Joe!

  2. Joe,
    How long do you expect the webinar to be? I have a scheduled meeting that night and since I have my Catechists together I thought we might include the webinar.
