Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he commissioned his disciples to spread his Good News to all nations. As catechists, we are part of this important work—to help others be in a deeper relationship with God and become better disciples. This resource provides new and experienced catechists with an overview of the history of their ministry and offers spiritual formation and practical guidance for teaching the faithful and leading them to deeper communion with God and the world.

Ebook version is available on Amazon, Google Play, and Apple.

"This clear and concise guide to the nature, tasks, opportunities, and challenges of contemporary catechetical ministry is a timely addition to a catechist’s trusted resources. The concrete, practical guides to catechetical ministry can help a catechist become, like Jesus' disciples, a living “textbook of catechesis” serving the evangelizing mission of the Church today.”
— Dr. Jem Sullivan Catechist, educator, and author

“I recommend giving this book to every parish catechist. The wisdom contained herein will transform your catechist formation and lighten the amount of work you as a parish leader have to do because the authors have thought of everything! Starting with an explanation of the ministry of catechist and moving to practical, hands-on suggestions, the book is packed with spiritual insights as well as real-life classroom take-aways. I found myself thinking, ‘I wish I would have said that to our catechists!’”
— Rita Burns Senseman Pastoral Associate & Director of Religious Education (Retired) St. Benedict Parish Terre Haute, Indiana

“Guide for Catechists is a refreshing, up-to-date resource for both new and veteran catechists and directors of faith formation. It combines practical and pastoral advice with a reflective, hopeful, and compassionate approach to ministry. A must read for all in catechetical ministry!”
— Jessica Cole Director of Faith Formation St. Denis Parish Hanover, New Hampshire

“This is the resource I’ve been searching for! The authors begin with the goal in mind. The catechist’s objective is to bring those they serve ‘to greater communion with God’ and to create an environment where students can encounter Christ. Since the Eucharist is the primary place where we encounter Christ, everything a catechist does ‘should encourage full and active participation in the liturgy.’ In order to lead others, catechists must also commit to their own ongoing journey of conversion through participating in Mass and personal prayer.”
— Mary Beth Jambor Director of Sacraments and Worship Church of St. Mary of the Lake White Bear Lake, Minnesota

“Guide for catechists is a rich, balanced resource for groups of catechists and individuals. Reflection on the content will encourage both new and experienced catechists. Beside presenting the rich background of the role and meaning of the catechists, the book also shares practical ideas that can be used in catechetical sessions.”
— Maureen A Kelly, ma Noted author and speaker in areas of OCIA and initiatory catechesis
