2 Catechist Certification In The Diocese Of Las Vegas Welcome to the process of Catechist Certification! All catechists* Parish RE volunteers, Catholic School staff, Adult Faith Formation facilitators, Youth Ministry Team members, Catechumenate Team members, Sacrament Preparation Team members, etc. are highly encouraged to enrich their ministry by continuing to learn and grow in their own spirituality and understanding of BEING Catholic. This process may be adapted to meet the needs of varied backgrounds, interest levels, and parish/school structures. The content of the process is designed to help you become more confident, more competent, more committed in your ministry and to ensure qualified personnel for the Church s mission. Your Call: The entire Church is called to be active participants by virtue of their Baptism in the priestly, prophetic and kingly ministry of Christ... (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium #31) By Baptism the faithful profess before all the faith they have received; by Confirmation they are obliged to spread the faith by word and deed. (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium #11) Your Response: As a catechist you dedicate your ministry to put people not only in touch but also in communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ. (General Director for Catechesis, page 71) *The word catechist comes from the Greek word catechesis meaning to sound from above or to echo. Catechists have the mission, the responsibility, the privilege, the vocation of echoing God s word to all people.
