Parish Faith Formation

The Office Parish Faith Formation serves the parishes of the Diocese of Manchester in the efforts of lifelong faith formation. Through the work of catechesis, the Catholic Church hands on the faith that she believes, celebrates, and lives to every generation so that all may enter into communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ. The Office of Parish Faith Formation provides ongoing support, training, and resources for pastors, parish staff, ministry volunteers and parishioners to participate fully in the life and mission of the Church.

“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 Tradendae
