Catechesis is the act of handing on the Word of God
Catechesis is the act of handing on the Word of God intended to inform the faith community and candidates for initiation into the Church about the teachings of Christ, transmitted by the Apostles to the Church.
Catechesis also involves the lifelong effort of forming people into witnesses to Christ and opening their hearts to the spiritual transformation given by the Holy Spirit.
A catechism is the name given to a written work that contains a summary of all the beliefs of the faith that is used as a teaching tool.
The Secretariat of Evangelization and Catechesis provides a variety of resources for the formation and ongoing education of catechists and catechetical leaders that can be found in this section of our Web site.
