For pastors, parish priests, deacons, lay and religious catechists responsible for formal religious instruction and sacramental preparation

Released in June 2020, the updated Directory provides guidelines for the Church’s mission of proclaiming the Gospel through catechesis and evangelization.
This series will provide an opportunity to become familiar with the content of each chapter and to share ideas on how to apply it to the pastoral work in our local Church.
