General Description:

The Need for a Catechism...

"THE CATECHISM lays the deep foundations for the preparation of the personality of the Christian, from early infancy, when the teaching received is engraved more deeply on the mind and leaves a more lasting mark, like a seed cast on good soil, which will germinate in due time." (cf. Mt. 13, 23; Lk.8, 15)

"Methods change, and that is necessary; but the catechism remains the most important, irreplaceable, decisive means of Christian education because-as the Council said-'it gives clarity and vigor to faith, nourishes a life lived according to the spirit of Christ, leads to a knowing and active participation in the liturgical mystery, and inspires apostolic action.' (Gravissimum educationis, 4).

"What a program for you and for your priests, teachers and parents!  Always put it into practice.  With this wish, we willingly bless you all."-Pope Paul VI

Catechesis is therefore for adults of every age, including the elderly-persons who deserve particular attention in view of their experience and their problems-no less than for children, adolescents and the young."-Pope John Paul II
