Catechesis for Diaconal Candidates
Diaconal Formation
The Church invites all people into communion with the life of the Trinity and intimacy with the Lord Jesus through the work of catechesis. In this course we will:
1. Study the Church’s definition of catechesis through an examination of the General Directory for Catechesis from the Congregation for the Clergy.
2. Examine the role of the deacon in the catechetical ministry of the Church.
3. Look at the Ecclesial Method of catechesis and have become familiar with it with an in-class practicum.
