Catholic Schools Catechesis

The "Catholic school forms part of the saving mission of the Church, especially for education in the faith." It is "not simply an institution which offers academic instruction of high quality, but, even more important, is an effective vehicle of total Christian formation."
National Directory for Catechesis (NDC) p 230

The object of catechesis is communion with Jesus Christ. Catechesis leads people to enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter him, and to discover themselves and the meaning of their lives in him. "At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth... The definitve aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ..."
NDC, p 55
