Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies

Catechetical Methodology

Prerequisite : None

Type of Course : Lecture

Units : 3

Course Description:

This course offers our Religious Educators/ students to become more alert and attentive to how God is actually revealing and inviting Filipinos to respond in faith-even
to how particular persons experience God’s presence in their lives. By their very calling, they are the first personal witnesses of God’s living word and presence among
his people. It is therefore a noble yet humbling task. It is therefore the task of the Church to continuously search for new ways to communicate the “ Good News” to
Filipinos of today, to pursue ever more effective methods of carrying out her mission through the ministry of the word
"The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit
and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity." ( Catechesi Tradendea 5 )

Our goal here is to review some ideas for preparation
