School-Age Children's Faith Formation

“School-age children should receive formal and systematic catechesis in a parish-based catechetical program, a Catholic school, or a program of home-based catechesis in which the content of the faith and experience of Christian life is present authentically and completely…. The most important task of catechesis of children is to provide, through the witness of adults, an environment in which young people can grow in faith.”

There are some pastoral directives that follow this quote from the National Directory for Catechesis that I would highly encourage you to read. If you do not have a copy of this book, you can order it through my office, or the United States Catholic Conference of Bishop’s.
