Catechetical ministry is an important way for the Catholic church to carry out its mission of evangelization. “Catechesis is the act of handing on the Word of God intended to inform the faith community and though to be initiated into the Church through the OCIA program about the teachings of Christ, transmitted by the Apostles to the Church. Catechesis also involves the lifelong effort of forming people into witnesses to Christ and opening their hearts to the spiritual transformation given by the Holy Spirit. ”
