CATECHIST magazine
is written for catechists in
parish religious education
programs and for teachers of
religion in Catholic schools.
For nearly four decades,
CATECHIST magazine has been the
leading periodical that helps
both the veteran and the
first-year catechist/teacher be
more successful.
CATECHIST is a tool
that supports classroom
preparation and presentation.
Articles often contain craft
ideas, patterns, and prayer
services.
CATECHIST provides
reliable catechetical formation
with insightful articles about
Scripture, the sacraments,
liturgy and prayer, and Church
history, dogma, and Tradition.
Articles are written by
volunteer catechists, parish and
diocesan catechetical leaders,
and scholars in the field of
catechesis.
CATECHIST is issued
seven times throughout the
learning year: September,
October, November/December,
January, February, March, and
April/May. Much of each issue
aligns with the liturgical year. |
