The Catechetics Department assists in the development and nurturing of a faith formation process for children and families in the Archdiocese of Regina.  Most of the work done involves partnering with catechists, especially in rural areas.

This Department was formerly called the Religious Education Department. “Catechetics” is a more wide-reaching term that refers to the ministry of assisting people in deepening their communion with Jesus and with their faith community. The fundamental tasks of catechesis are: promoting knowledge of the faith (“religious education”); liturgical formation; moral formation; teaching to pray; education for community life; missionary initiation.

It is the hope of the Archdiocese of Regina that all parishes have in place an on-going parish catechetical program for children. This program should involve an integration of Scripture, doctrine, prayer, liturgy, faith sharing, and outreach. The Catechetics Department strives to make this hope a reality.
