    Catholic education refers to the totality of the Church's efforts to make disciples to help all believe that Jesus is the son of God so that believing they might have life in this name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, in order to build up the body of Christ. (CF. CCC 4)

    The following Guidelines for Religious Education are structured around a center; the mystery of the Blessed Trinity and of Christ as expressed in the 4 Pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church;

    1. The Profession of Faith—Creed
    2. The Celebration of the Christian Mystery—Sacraments
    3. Life in Christ—Commandments and the Moral Life
    4. Christian Prayer—Prayer
    These guidelines are intended to assist catechists in fulfilling the mission of the Church to educate her children in the fullness of the Catholic Faith: to believe what the Creed teaches; to participate in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church; to live a life of love for God and neighbor; and to pray to the Father through Jesus, His Son, in the Holy Spirit.
