BASIC AND MASTER CATECHESIS CERTIFICATIONS

Credits for Basic and Master Catechesis Certifications for Office of Faith Formation Conference
TWO (2) HOURS PER WORKSHOP

“Catechists are selected and commissioned “to proclaim Christ’s message, to participate in efforts to develop community, to lead people to worship and prayer, and to motivate them to serve others” (NDC #213). When commissioned, the Catechist recognizes the faith community’s call and his/her dedicated response. While catechist must realize “that faith is a gift and it is not ultimately their effort…which lea people to accept faith and respond to it,” catechist should acquire the particular knowledge and skills that they need to assist adults, young people, and children, including those with special needs, to grow in faith. (CCC Guidelines for Obtaining the California Catechist Certificate or California Master Catechist Certificate. Pg.2) This conference gives credit in the various areas of formation to obtain or renew a certificate. This is an ideal place to come together and be formed by nationally known expert presenters of the faith. All catechists are expected to gather for this important training. 

We look forward to seeing you on October 5!
