The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis envisions vibrant parish and school communities on fire with faith. These communities of faith engage in evangelizing catechesis to form committed disciples who reflect the light of Christ in the World.
Dream Statements:
Comprehensive Vision: The OEC inspires catechetical leaders with a comprehensive vision of catechesis woven into the entire fabric of parish life. We collaborate with catechetical leaders and pastors to create innovative approaches to catechesis that respond to the needs of parishes in times of transition.
Adult Formation: The OEC actively supports all those who lead adults in their search to become more faith filled disciples and full participants in the life of the Church. We believe that ongoing faith formation is an essential component of membership in the Church. Together with those who lead adults we continually look for ways to do faith formation more effectively and to involve adults in the whole process of catechesis.
Formation of Catechetical Leaders: The OEC is committed to the ongoing development of Catechetical Leaders as Lay Ecclesial Ministers in the Church. We inspire Catechetical Leaders to be visionary, empowering, servant leaders in their parishes.
