Formation and ongoing support for catechists
The Parish Public school catechists meet twice a term for admin, prayer, troubleshooting and coffee. We have reflection mornings at the presbytery and MacKillop Place, in addition to other forms of in-service training and formation. The Sydney Archdiocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) also provides training and support for catechists. It produces texts and resources for catechists to use in the classroom.
Goals:
- strengthen catechist formation
- connect more with student families
- develop parish/class/family communication
- 2 catechists per class in all primary school classes
(2/3 staffed by 2 teachers at present) - develop inter-faith and ecumenical relationships with our counterparts from other Christian denominations and faiths
