Evangelization & Catholic Formation of Adults
Echoes is a new parish-based training resource - an initial formation program for those who are or who want to be involved in parish or family catechesis. Echoes builds a sense of parish community and shared responsibility for the work of handing on the faith.
Designed for anyone handing on faith, whether to adults or children, it provides a rounded formation in the central aspects of the Catholic faith and how to transmit this to others in different contexts. This resource will lead you to appreciate even more the treasure of the faith, and will equip you for handing on Christ in his Church to others.
The course is taught in the parish in 11 sessions. Contact your parish to find out when sessions begin!
If you are a director of catechetical programs in your parish, and would like to learn to use the Echoes program, contact the Archdiocesan office!
