Catechesis is “the whole of the efforts within the Church to make disciples, to help people to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so that believing, they might have life in His name, and to educate and instruct them in this life and thus build up the Body of Christ.”
John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae

Young people grow in their Catholic faith by falling in love
with the person and message of Jesus Christ, and mature in faith
when they let that love form and transform them within the
Church, a community of disciples.
Adolescent catechesis is one stage of a lifelong process of
embracing the Catholic way of life that forms young disciples by empowering them to know and follow Christ in their daily lives, thus becoming leaven for
the Kingdom of God in the world.

But faith is not an isolated act. No one can believe alone, just as no one can live alone… Each believer is thus a link in the great chain of believers. I cannot believe without being carried by the faith of others, and by my faith I help
support others in the faith. CCC166
