RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND FAITH FORMATION
-
Catechesis is a responsibility of the entire Christian community. This is should not be the work of catechists and priests alone but of the whole community of the faithful. The Christian community follows the development of catechetical processes, for children, young people, and adults, as a duty that involves and binds it directly. (General Directory for Catechesis 220) A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well-developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise.” (ACCC, no. 25).
The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home – both positive and negative – provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to live his or her faith as well as understanding it.
C.C.E. stands for Continuous Christian Education. We meet once a week to learn more about the Catholic faith. All the topics that are covered come from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Some of the topics include Scripture, Sacraments, Prayer, and Creed.The education focusing on Catholic faith, knowledge, discipline, and Morals. It embraces all ages and generation, promotes faith growth at home and promotes participation in Church life.
