Sacramental Catechesis: An Online Resource for
Dioceses and Eparchies
A statement by the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis
The Seven Sacraments continue the saving work of
Jesus until he comes again and form the center of the celebration of the
Christian mystery. Through the ministry of the Church, all are invited to hear the
Good News, follow Christ and share in these saving mysteries: mysteries that
symbolize, make possible, realize and nurture the grace of the sacraments in
the baptized.
Participation in the sacraments ... is foundational to sustain the faithful in union with the
very life of the Trinity.Participation in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, is not simply
an option; rather, it is foundational to sustain the faithful in union with the
very life of the Trinity and to strengthen them for the rigors of living their
faith as committed disciples.
The Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis has
developed
Sacramental Catechesis: An
Online Resource for Dioceses and Eparchies. It provides an overview of some of the challenges to sacramental
catechesis in our culture; offers eight principles that should govern all sound
catechesis; focuses on the elements for doctrinally and pastorally sound
catechesis specific to each sacrament; identifies moments of opportunity when
this sacramental catechesis may be particularly fruitful.
