Session 3E - The Catechism: Synthesis of our faith. How to use it to support your catechesis

Ingrid La Trobe, Family, Child and Youth Catechesis Advisor, AEC

'Every catechist should be able to apply to himself the mysterious words of Jesus: 'My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.' (CCC 427).  How is it that we best equip ourselves as catechists so that we can 'lead others to the 'yes' of faith in Jesus Christ' (CCC 429). If you would like to use the Catechism of the Catholic Church to support your catechesis, but don't know how, this session will explore how the Catechism is designed to support our work, we will look at its history and structure, and how it is an encounter with 'the love that never ends' (CCC 25).
