On Thursday, June 25, the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization announced the release of the new Directory for Catechesis. This new directory will be an important reference point for evangelization and catechesis efforts moving forward.
Remarks from the Vatican press conference are available here, and further information is available via Vatican News.
A statement from Bishop Robert Barron, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, welcoming the new directory, is available here.
A short video about the new Directory for Catechesis and information on preordering copies in English—expected to be available later in July—are available here.
The Office of Formation and Discipleship (OFD) looks forward to exploring how to support leaders in implementing the new directory in the archdiocese.
Thank you!
