is to know, celebrate, live and contemplatethe Mystery of Christ. (85)
The task of Catechesis
Know: what we believe (content of faith)
Celebrate: we celebrate what we believe (liturgy/sacraments)
Live: we live and share what we believe and celebrate (life-witness)
Contemplate: we contemplate
what we believe and celebrate (prayer).
Other tasks of catechesis are: (86)+ To educate to community life+ To initiate to mission apostolate.
Ecclesial in nature, catechesis draws its message from “Scripture-Tradition-Magisterium”
Catechesis is essentially an act of the Church (78)
Ministry of the Word
is closely connected: (94, 96)
Its three-fold principal and living source
the written Word of God,1) Sacred Scripture:
2) Apostolic Tradition: the Word of Godentrusted by Christ to the apostles,
3) Church Magisterium: the Word of God as authentically interpreted by the Church.
The “Catechism of the Catholic Church” (yr. 1992) is a statement of Catholic doctrine attested to by this 3-fold source.
The “CCC” is the standard summary of the whole Catholic faith. (120)
Christian Community is homefor catechesis. (253-263)
This community has a variety of expressions:
1) Family: the “Domestic Church” where parents are the primary educators in
the faith;
pre-eminent place for catechesis;2) Parish: the prime mover and
3) Catholic schools: the most important placefor human and Christian
formation;
4) Christian associations and movements:where the laity are formed to fulfill
theirmission in the Church and in the world;
5) Basic Ecclesial Communities: small communities where Christian life
is more intensely lived.

Evangelization is the process by which the Church proclaims and spreads the Gospel throughout the entire world. (48)
