As we embark upon the 2021-2022 catechetical year, the Department of Discipleship and Evangelization with the assistance of the Office of Catholic Schools has outlined below minimum COVID-19 safety guidelines for parish-based faith formation programming. In our ministry we must consider our responsibility not only to lead the faithful to an encounter with the Risen Lord but also to protect everyone in our parishes and communities from illness, especially the most vulnerable.
Diocesan Guidelines for Developing Faith Formation ProgramsParish Catechetical Leaders Guidelines
The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Parish Catechetical Leader Guidelines 2014.
“The single most critical factor in an effective parish catechetical program is the leadership of a professionally trained parish catechetical leader. Depending on the size and scope of the parish catechetical program, parishes should allocate their resources so that they are able to acquire the services of a competent and qualified catechetical leader (or someone who is in the process of becoming qualified and competent)….” (NDC p. 225)

The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Parish Catechist Guidelines 2014
“No methodology, no matter how well tested, can dispense with the person of the catechist in every phase of the catechetical process. The charism given to him by the Spirit, a solid spirituality and transparent witness of life, constitutes the soul of every method. (GDC 156)
