A Vision for Faith Formation

The work of catechesis is close to my heart. When we form young people well in the faith, we build not only the Church but the entire community. Catechesis is discipleship — walking with Christ and inviting others to do the same.

Message from the Auxiliary Archbishop

Walking Together in Discipleship

Faith formation is not confined to a classroom. It happens in parishes, families, and every moment we accompany one another toward Christ. I encourage all catechists and parents to embrace this sacred work with joy and perseverance.
