Religious Education & Faith Formation
We, the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership, formed as an organization of diocesan, parish, academic, publishing, and other catechetical personnel, strive to enrich and strengthen the ministry of catechesis throughout the Catholic dioceses of the United States,
and seek to serve the Church by:
Promoting the Churchs catechetical ministry in accord with
the vision of Scripture,
the wisdom of the Church,
the expertise of our members, and
the needs of the people we serve in our continually changing world;
Collaborating with the bishops of the United States, international, national, regional and local organizations, other leaders who relate to catechetical ministers, and one another in the development of
catechetical ministry,
religious education, and
faith formation;
Nurturing the continual spiritual, professional, and personal development of religious educators and catechetical ministers in the Church;
Gathering with one another at the national, regional, provincial, and diocesan levels to
challenge our vision,
foster our unity,
strengthen our ministry,
grow in faith,
deepen our spiritual life,
increase our understanding and
broaden our perspective for catechetical leadership in the Church.
