Catechetical Leader Orientation
Thursday, September 16, 2021

Aldrich Mansion
836 Warwick Neck Ave., Warwick, RI

Registration is closed for this event.
 

We are happy to schedule one on one virtual or in-person meetings with catechetical leaders at any time during the year to discuss your areas of need or concern. 

At the start of each new formation year the Diocese of Providence asks Parish Catechetical Leaders to gather for prayer and professional development to support you in your important and necessary role in the Church's mission of catechesis and evangelization. It is our aim and our responsibility that you receive the training and education you need in order to be succesful in the role that has been delegated to you by your pastor who is the primary catechist of the parish. 

The bishop directs catechesis through the diocesan offices responsible for catechetical activities... "The diocesan catechetical office (Officium Catechisticum) is the 'means which the Bishop as head of the community and teacher of doctrine utilizes to direct and moderate all of the catechetical activities of the diocese.'" - National Directory for Catechesis, 59.C

Two opportunities are available. You can choose to join us during the day or in the evening.
There is no cost to attend. We look forward to seeing you!
