Christ’s apostolic commission…. Go and make disciples, baptize, and teach…

Six tasks of Catechesis:

… Promotes knowledge of Catholic Faith;

… Promotes meaningful participation in liturgical worship and sacramental life

     of the Church

… integrates moral formation into a Christian way of life;

… teaches Christians how to pray with Christ, in Christ, and in communion

     with the Church;

… initiates the Christian into the life of the local church community and  fosters

     active participation in the mission of the Church;

… Promotes a missionary spirit that prepares the faithful to witness to Christ

      in society..   (National Directory for Catechesis)

The Catechism builds the content of faith formation on four pillars:

… The profession of faith (Apostles’ Creed);

… The Sacraments of faith;

… The life of faith (Commandments)

… The prayer of believers (Our Father)
