Catechist Formation at KINO

The Catechist Formation process of the Diocese of Phoenix is designed to assist parish and school catechists, as well as any adult Catholic, to know and follow Jesus more deeply. In particular, the Catechist Formation process seeks to:

  • Facilitate conversion in the life of the catechist.
  • Impart to the catechist the story of salvation history, developing the foundation for Biblical catechesis.
  • Provide the catechist with an overview of the Church’s mission of evangelization and catechesis.
  • Train the catechist in the necessary skills to assist in conversion of those they serve and to pass on to them the teachings of Christ.
  • Help catechists know the Deposit of Faith through a systematic and complete study of United States Catholic Catechism for Adults (USCCA).
