SRE & Catechesis

SRE & Catechesis

"Catechesis is a pillar of faith education and we need good catechists! Thank you for your service to the Church and in the Church. Even if at times it may be difficult and require a great deal of work and although the results are not always what we hope for, teaching the faith is something beautiful!"

Pope Francis, 27 September 2013
Address of Holy Father Francis to participants in the pilgrimage of catechists
on the occasion of the Year of Faith and of the International Congress on Catechesis

(At right: Murray Deanery catechists gather at the Slattery Centre in Albury for Child Protection training and to develop their knowledge and skills in the area of effective Classroom Management.)
