Session 3B - Lifting up the Creed in our Catechesis

Margaret Wickware and Angela Wood (both have an MA in Catholic Applied Theology - Catechesis and have many years of experience as Parish Catechists)  

In this workshop participants will explore how the Creed is an integral part of every Sacrament, with a special focus upon the Sacrament of Baptism. 

Adults about to be baptised or parents and godparents, speaking on behalf of a young child at their baptism, affirm their belief in the central tenets of our Catholic faith by answering a series of short questions. They are responding to God’s loving invitation to live in Christ and as brothers and sisters of each other.  They are responding to a call to surrender themselves, body and soul to Christ, our Saviour and his mission. 

Join us as we explore four varied and practical ways to help those we catechise to surrender themselves so that they can: live each day in the Trinitarian relationship established at their Baptism; be strengthened by the Holy Spirit through Confirmation, and be nourished and sustained at every celebration of the Eucharist.
