Catechists

Definition

Catechists are defined in canon law as “lay members of the Christians faithful, duly instructed and outstanding in Christian life, who devote themselves to setting forth the teachings of the Gospel and organizing liturgies and works of charity under the direction of a missionary.


In 2018, Pope Francis told a conference on the role that “being a catechist, this is the vocation, not working as a catechist.”
