The word catechesis comes from the Greek meaning "to echo the teaching" meaning that catechesis or the teaching of the faith is an interactive process in which the Word of God re-sounds between and among the proclaimer, the one receiving the message, and the Holy Spirit! Catechesis is a life-long process of initial conversion, formation, education, and on-going conversion (Catholic News Agency).

• This is a Family Model of Catechesis: Students (and their siblings) will be in a class with their parents, learning and sharing the Faith together.

• Families will be paired with 3-5 other families with similarly aged children
