The single most critical factor in an effective parish catechetical program is the leadership of a professionally trained parish catechetical leader. Depending on the size and scope of the parish catechetical program, parishes should allocate their resources so that they are able to acquire the services of a competent and qualified catechetical leader (or someone in the process of becoming qualified and competent) or to share those services with another parish."

Catechesis: An Oasis Amidst Diversity
NCCL 2010 Annual Conference
April 18-22, 2010
Bally's Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
The 21st Century finds theCatholic Church in America to be an exquiste example of the universality of the Catholic Church. On a given Sunday, Mass is celebrated in over 100 different languages. Within this cultural diversity are challenges and opportunities; sometimes there are differences.
In the middle of this diversity, there is one place where all can come together, as one; it is the oasis where faith is shared. It is the place where each person can echo the rich traditions that have passed their faith from generation to generation. It is a place of oneness with God. It is the place of catechesis where one's confession of faith is "living, explicit and fruitful" (GDC no. 82)
