Session 2A - Developing an understanding of Evangelisation in Catechetical Practice - what does this mean for our collaboration with parents?

Dcn Javier Elderfield, Cathedral Manager and Mrs Susan Elderfield, Education Service. Cathedral Parish Catechists

This session proposes a shift in the traditional approach to catechesis, moving away from a primary focus on children to instead prioritise the evangelisation of the family as the foundational step. It emphasises the family's crucial role as the domestic church, where faith is first encountered, lived, and nurtured. The session will consider practical ways to introduce the core message of the Gospel to families, fostering a personal encounter with Christ.
