The role of the catechist is vital to the life of the Church. For those who are discerning a call to be a catechist or are already active in catechetical ministry, initial and ongoing formation is necessary. Catechist formation offers a place to grow deeper in your own relationship with Christ and equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively share the faith.
The Diocese of Trenton provides basic training and formation through the Certificate in Catechesis as well as additional opportunities for ongoing formation through courses, workshops and diocesan events. All Parish Catechists and Catholic School Teachers of Religion are required to obtain the Certificate in Catechesis.
