Are you currently a catechist in the CCE Program? RCIA? Sacramental preparation? Were you ever a catechist at your former parish??? Do you hear the call of the Holy Spirit to serve as a teacher, mentor, and witness of the faith? Catechesis is an indispensable stage in the rich, complex, and dynamic reality of evangelization (National Directory for Catechesis, USCCB, 2005, p. 41). Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize. (On Evangelization in the Modern World, Pope Paul VI, 1975).
