Why We Believe This Process Works
We believe that the Transforming Adolescent Catechesis process works because:
- It addresses the system and context for adolescent catechesis
- It is intentional in how it involves the community and especially families
- It does not tax already overburdened and under-funded diocesan offices
- It is self-replicating
- it does not replace what is being done but helps communities to identify the publishers, speakers, organizations that can provided the needed supportive resources
- It is respectful of the culture of the community
- It isn’t for everyone but the resources are available to help everyone
- This is being presented to NFCYM , NCEA and NCCL – a truly collaborative venture
- It will provide parishes and schools with a process that enables their local teams to develop a blueprint or a map for comprehensive adolescent catechesis
