Whole Community Catechesis Ministry provides a spiritual and educational service to
the parishioners of St. Anne.  It is our parish’s primary faith formation opportunity. Every parishioner is invited and encouraged to participate. It is an intergenerational program of faith sharing, lessons, and activities. Individuals and families involved in Whole Community Catechesis meet monthly, choosing from one of three sessions offered each month.

The program is based upon the four core elements of the Catechism of the Catholic
Church i.e. creed, sacraments, morality, and prayer. Our lessons are focused on one essential teaching of the Church each month. Lessons alternate between age-specific and intergenerational groups. One Sunday evening session is designed for teens and adults without small children.

This leadership of this ministry meets quarterly to plan, review, and evaluate the Whole Community Catechesis program. It sets yearly goals and helps develop long-range schedules. The catechetical aspects of this ministry assist with our break-out sessions, explaining and demonstrating a specific aspect of formation from the monthly focus. These Catechists have a desire to learn more about the Catholic faith and to share that knowledge with others. Training, support, and materials are provided. All members of the Catechetical ministry participate in ongoing formation and work toward Archdiocesan
certification.
