In his apostolic exhortation, On Evangelization in the Modern world, Pope Paul VI made clear that catechesis is the work of evangelization in the mission
of the church. He clarified that catechesis, or faith formation, is "a fundamental element of evangelization through all its stages and that both those who are evangelized and those who evangelize need to be nourished by the word of God."
At the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart we foster the philosophy of 'life-long catechesis.' In the same way we learn basic concepts of math and reading in early elementary school, we continue to learn through elementary, middle, high school and beyond. Catechesis starts with the Sacraments of Initiation and carries through from infancy to our adult lives. It truly is a life-long process. Building a culture of learning at all ages prepares us for our post-Confirmation mandate to be missionary evangelists of Christ in the world.
