Catechesis (link)

To provide education in the teachings of our Catholic faith in a manor that is developmentally appropriate and engaging for the young people participating in our programs.  The knowledge gained during our meetings is accompanied by practical skills and opportunities for living the faith in our daily lives.  We use a variety of teaching methods and tools such as, catechetical talks, skits, small group discussions, current media, music, video clips and hands on activities incorporated into our meetings to engage young people in the learning process.  We strive to present the truth of our faith in a way that’s exciting and relevant to the life of a teenager today.
