Mission/Services
We, the Staff of the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, advocate for the essential role of catechetical ministry in the evangelizing mission of the Church. We serve parish and school leaders by providing formation, direction skill development and resources that promote effective lifelong catechesis.

We see our mission statement as our role in bringing about our vision. It is our statement of what we are about. Even more, it is our pledge to the parishes and schools of the archdiocese and especially to catechetical leaders to serve them in carrying out the mission of the Church. Please take our mission statement as a promise. A promise for which we feel accountable to you. - Kenneth Gleason, Archdiocesan Director
