Catechetics
*The Church calls forth exemplary followers of Christ who have a
living, conscious, active participation in the sacramental life of the
Church. Personal qualities of catechists should include:
- faith that manifests itself in their piety and daily life;
- love for the Church;
- apostolic spirit and missionary zeal;
- love for their brothers and sisters and a desire to give
generous service;
- a willingness to continue their own religious education and
formation;
- the human, moral, and technical qualities necessary for the
ministry of a catechist such as dynamism and good
relationships with others;
- respect for the diversity of cultures;
- an ability to appreciate different stages of individual
growth and development;
- an ability to communicate effectively with the persons to be
catechized.
