    1. Stewardship Formation for Children, Youth and Young Adults

    3. The Vision From Our Catechetical Documents “We seek to form parishes that are vitally alive in faith. These communities will provide a parish climate and an array of activities and resources designed to help adults more fully understand and live their faith.” (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, introduction)

    4. The Vision From Our Catechetical Documents “The Church, the Body of Christ, is both the principal agent of catechesis and the primary recipient of catechesis. In fact, the life of the Church is a kind of catechesis itself.” (NDC, #47) The parish energizes the faithful to carry out Christ’s mission…where disciples say “yes” to Jesus Christ, and abandon themselves to God… (NDC, #60, #29B)
