CERTIFICATE IN THE PRACTICE OF CATECHESIS:

 

 

The Practice of Catechesis with All Ages and Generations Certificate Program is designed to provide a holistic educational experience for the Parish Catechetical Leader (Coordinator), integrating personal spiritual growth, leadership formation, and the latest thinking, approaches, and skills for catechesis with all ages and generations. The emphasis of the Certificate Program is on practice – equipping leaders for the requirements and challenges of their role as the leader of the parish’s catechetical ministry with all ages and generations. 
 
The Practice of Catechesis Certificate is an applied education program, designed to help leaders develop and implement vibrant and engaging faith formation with age groups across the life span, with families, and with all of the generations together.
 
The Practice of Catechesis Certificate is a hybrid program, blending in-person with online learning, in synchronous and asynchronous formats. The program will utilize an online learning management system to integrate all aspects of the course work. Participants will have access to an extensive online library to complement the content in each of the courses with research studies, articles on effective practices, videos, audio podcasts, and online content. 
 
The Practice of Catechesis Certificate is a 12-month curriculum consisting of three courses and a spirituality for ministry retreat experience.
 

  • Course 1.    Vision and Practice of Catechesis
  • Course 2.    Catechesis for Every Age and Generation
  • Course 3.    Leadership for Catechetical Ministry
  • Retreat       The Spiritual Life of the Catechetical Leader 

 
The Practice of Catechesis Certificate is a cohort-based program of 8-10 participants (in a diocese or a region) who experience the program together, guided by a mentor who facilitates monthly cohort meetings and provides 1-1 assistance throughout the program.
 
The Practice of Catechesis Certification uses a competency-based approach to learning that is developed around a Parish Catechetical Competency Assessment Tool with competencies for catechesis and leadership to guide Catechetical Leaders in discerning their level of proficiency in each course, identify the areas they most need to focus on, and assess their growth at the conclusion of the course.
