Catechesis - Sacramental Catechesis
The Office for Evangelisation & Catechesis aims to promote and support The Ministry of Parish Sacramental Catechesis for the sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist and Reconciliation, for Confirmation, and for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and the Christian Initiation of Children of Catechetical Age

For each parish ministry this is achieved by:

A. Providing for the initial training of parish catechists, and for their ongoing support and formation

  • by organising training courses
  • by responding to requests from local areas
  • by encouraging the use of Foundations in Faith which incorporates the Catholic Certificate of Religious Studies

B. Developing effective networks of catechists between parishes and within deaneries

C. Sourcing and sharing good materials and best practice

D. Promoting co-operation between home school and parish

E. Benefiting from participation in the work of regional and national bodies

NB These aims also apply to support and formation for leaders of Children's Liturgy of the Word

 

Young People with Disabilities and the Sacraments

 

 ‘The sacraments are for all; they are part of the life of faith for all..... As members of God's family, people with disabilities are called, like all its members, to union with God through their friendship with Christ. They are called, like everyone else, to holiness. This is what lies at the heart of the Church's desire that the sacraments be made available to all........'
