The Catechesis Formation Program helps develop
catechists, or religious education teachers, who are theologically
and spiritually prepared to share and teach the Catholic faith
to others. Parishioners interested in becoming religious
education catechists are required to complete the Catechist Formation
Program and receive Diocesan
certification. For individuals who
already have responded to a call to ministry
as a
catechist,
the Diocese of Sacramento is requiring that they become Diocesan-certified
within 3 years.
Basic certification
includes
doctrinal development through a prescribed number of study
hours in spirituality and theology as well as a basic presentation
of the social sciences (consistent
with the National Directory for Catechesis, 55).
The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament sponsors
a series of workshops throughout the pastoral year to support
candidates’ development in catechetical formation and to
prepare them
for Diocesan
certification. These workshops
are designed to prepare the candidate spiritually and theologically
to witness
and share their faith with the children and adults to whom they
minister. The workshop series also includes faith-based methodology
sessions
that are tailored to various age groups and that address how to
provide catechetical students with a sound Catholic faith
foundation
and
prepare them
for receiving
the Sacraments.
If you are interested in volunteering in our
Catechesis Formation Program, please complete and submit
a volunteer application.
