As the new religious education year kicks off, José Amaya, the AMS Director of Faith Formation, shares resources for catechists and parents. We begin our conversation by considering the theme published by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for Catechetical Sunday, Sept 15, “Lord, when did we see you hungry?” Jose also shares archdiocesan resources for catechists, considers what would make some a “good” catechist, and how catechists can take practical steps to prepare themselves for this year. Good catechesis is grounded in the Eucharist and becomes a fruit of prayer. You don’t need a degree in theology to be a catechists – you must have a love of Christ and his Church and a willingness to step into this divine vocation.
