Many volunteer ministers, along with the parish staff, are dedicated to the catechesis of parishioners from infancy to adulthood. Catechesis, a Greek word meaning "to echo", is about re-telling the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Briefly, there are three goals* in the Catholic Christian formation process which are dependent on each other :

  • To help each other grow in faith, assisting in the development and nurturing of one another's personal relationship with God.
  • To help each other become part of the Catholic Christian community of believers by forming significant communities in faith, as well as taking part in the rituals of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
  • To help one another acquire a Catholic identity. This involves the sharing of Catholic doctrine, prayers, Scripture stories and practices.

* Adapted from "The New Catechist Handbook"
