National Directory for CatechesisThe National Directory for Catechesis is a companion to the General Directory for Catechesis (GDC), building on some of the core themes of the GDC, like catechesis's relationship to evangelization and worship, and provides practical tools for doing catechesis well. This is a "must-have" for anyone in catechesis or Catholic education-teachers, principals, directors, and coordinators of religious education and youth ministry, catechists, and students in the field. |
