The future of persons and of the human and ecclesial communities depends to a large extent on the family, the basic cell of society. Thanks to the family, the Church becomes a family of families and is enriched with the life of these domestic churches.Directory for Catechesis #226Your Role as Catechetical LeaderRoles for catechetical leaders vary from parish to parish and from diocese to diocese. What is consistent is the challenge of providing guidance, support, and resources for all who take part in your parish%u2019s faith formation program. This is true when leading your parish%u2019s family catechesis program. Christ Our Life Family Catechesis combines parish-based group meeting and gradespecific instruction led by trained catechists with at-home lessons guided by parents. You will lead, or designate someone to lead, monthly group meetings with accompanying slideshow presentations, recruit and mentor catechists to teach children in a grade-level group setting, and help parents teach their children additional faith content at home. Family catechesis is a collaborative effort undertaken by the catechetical leader, parents, children, and catechists together with the wider parish community. Family catechesis strengthens the domestic church and the parish community. Preparation, planning, and communication will help your program be successful. May all you do help others recognize God%u2019s presence in all things! Blessings on your endeavor.SAMPLE
