Nurturing Friendship, the Directory for Catechesis in Dialogue with Fratelli Tutti

The CCCB Office for Evangelization and Catechesis will offer a four-part webinar series, “Nurturing Friendship, the Directory for Catechesis in Dialogue with the Encyclical Letter Fratelli Tutti.”  Beginning 2 March 2021, the series will explore how the themes of these two documents call catechists to be people of hope who promote human dignity and communion with God by building bridges and asking, ‘Who is my neighbour?’

… it is important that catechesis and preaching speak more directly and clearly about the social meaning of existence, the fraternal dimension of spirituality, our conviction of the inalienable dignity of each person, and our reasons for loving and accepting all our brothers and sisters. (FT 86)

Keynote speakers from across the country will draw insight from the two documents and propose concrete ways to help form communities of missionary disciples within dioceses, eparchies, parishes, and Catholic schools. 

The series is designed for those in your dioceses/eparchies who have responsibility for evangelization and catechesis including, clergy, consecrated persons, laity involved in ministry, directors and coordinators of evangelization and catechesis, and Catholic educators. 

Please consult the attached PDF flyer for specific topics, dates, times, and registration. The webinar series is offered at no cost to participants. Please click here to access the online registration form. The deadline to register is Monday, 22 February 2021. We invite you to share this flyer with those whom you believe would benefit by participating. Please note that the webinar recordings will be available on the CCCB website and YouTube channel following the last session on 23 March 2021.
