At the heart of catechesis we find the Person of Jesus of Nazareth who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever. Catechesis aims at putting people in communion with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity.
Throughout his public ministry, the Lord Jesus regularly spent time teaching and forming his disciples. Formation in faith is called catechesis. The Catechism of the Catholic Church identifies four pillars of catechesis: Doctrine, Worship and the Sacraments, the Moral Life, and Prayer. Corio Lara Parish strives to offer our parishioners regular opportunities to deepen their formation in faith. Don’t worry, though – if you are from outside the parish, you are still most welcome!
Our next adult faith formation series will explore the question of morality. Does the way we live and act matter? Does the way we live have a connection to what we believe? As we will discover, the Lord Jesus calls us to follow him, not just to believe in him. He calls us to conversion, to conform our lives to His life. This series will feature short videos and small group discussion, using the Real&True Catechism Study, a wonderful resource developed by Our Sunday Visitor.
