I love that quote: “Catechesis is the process of ongoing conversion to the Person of Jesus Christ” Religion teachers and catechists have a challenging task: communicate a body of knowledge that can transform the human person. Many of us who teach young people will hopefully recognize that we are just planting the seeds. The faith of a young person will grow and develop over many years. Just as we come to know one another in ever-changing ways, so too will our students come to know Christ in ways we cannot imagine.
Thank you for this great reasource – believe me it is colder up north!

I find this process of conversion happens most fruitfully when our catechesis in intentional and clear in it’s presentation of the faith.
