Evangelization and Catechesis Commission

Strong faith formation programs for both adults and children are basic to a successful parish. Formations is important because the human being must continually be formed – that is “conformed to Christ” – before he/she can fully share the life of the church. The bishops at the Second Vatican Council stressed the needs for Christian formation by declaring that, “Before one can come to the liturgy, one must be called to faith and conversion.” 

Finding and developing leadership potential is essential if individuals are to take their God-given place in the Body of Christ. We hear often that Christ has no hands and feet on earth but ours. Each parish needs to encourage its members to place their hands and minds in God’s service.
