Catechesis offered at 9 parishes
By Denver Catholic Register
Dedicated to the Christian formation of adults, the Neocatechumenal Way is offering introductory catechesis at several area parishes and one in Pueblo this fall. The catechesis is delivered in English, with the exception of two parishes, where it will be given in Spanish.
The Neocatechumenal Way is a Vatican-approved, post-baptismal catechumenate that aims to bring Catholics to mature faith. The seven- or eight-week introductory catechesis is presented by a team, which includes lay people, and often seminarians and a priest. It is not necessary to attend every session.
The object of the catechesis is to proclaim the good news of salvation in such a manner that it resonates with the listener, bringing about a fuller understanding of the Gospel message and conversion of heart.
There is no cost to attend the catechesis. Each session lasts one hour. It is open to those 13 and older. Babysitting is provided.
