Catechetics Modules are an important part of the Catechist Formation process. They are designed to provide formation and training in important catechetical methodology and pedagogy. To see how the catechetics modules fit into the overall catechist formation process please click here.

Working toward their Archdiocesan catechetical certificate, individuals will reflect on how in their role as a catechist (or a Catholic school teacher) they can support the family also known as the “Domestic Church.” Using the Church documents on family, as well as the USCCB’s standards cited in Service Certification for Specialized Ecclesial Ministers and the TCC Guidelines for Formation of Parish Catechists, participants will discern their role in building up and supporting the Domestic Church within their classrooms. As a result of participating in this module, individuals will develop a sense of what the “modern” family looks like in the Catholic Church and formulate a plan to support their parishes’ families to live out their mission as the “Domestic Church.”
