The Office of Religious Education for Children of the Diocese of Laredo is committed to witnessing and proclaiming the reign of God as we minister to catechetical leaders and all involved in the catechetical ministry in our diocese.
This goal will be accomplished by:
Motivating… catechetical leaders to continually live out their baptismal vocation, sharing their faith with God’s people, collaborating with other catechetical leaders, affirming and supporting each other and their work, and praying for the catechetical ministry of parishes and missions in our diocese.
Educating… through instruction, training, and development in accord with the teachings of the Church to respond creatively to the catechetical needs of God’s people.
Communicating… with the intent to inform catechetical leaders, pastors, and parents regarding guidelines, procedures, concerns, and those events and activities that will strengthen the faith development of those entrusted to our care.
The resource in the Diocese of Laredo is the Guidelines and Policies for the Sacraments of Penance, Eucharist, and Confirmation.
All persons with disabilities can proclaim the Gospel and be living witnesses to its truth within the community of faith and offer valuable gifts. Their involvement enriches every aspect of Church life. NCD 49

Those called to become catechists respond to God’s call to echo God’s Word, to echo the Person of Jesus.
