Review: Be An Amazing Catechist
For those who bless their parish community as a catechist or who have considered teaching, Our Sunday Visitor published a booklet to aid in your ministry.
“Be an Amazing Catechist. Inspire the Faith of Children” by Lisa Mladinich speaks to experienced catechists, those new to the ministry, and individuals discerning the call to teach our faith. This 32-page magazine style booklet contains great suggestions, resources and tips for teaching the catechism to children from preschool all the way to high school age.
Reading Be an Amazing Catechist, generates excitement about spreading the faith to the next generation. Mladinich prepares the catechist by giving starting points to enhance the catechism instruction.
The booklet instructs the catechist to understand the specific nature of the age group, identify your instruction style, and recognize and direct the teaching to different types of learners in your group. Helpful tips aim to improve your confidence in teaching, empower you on addressing potential problems in the classroom, and get parents and families involved in their child’s faith education.
The author provides varied resource lists to supplement your parish curriculum and aid the catechist as the year progresses, including where to find the catechism & bible online, free catechetical puppet scripts, arts and crafts, and more.
Lisa Mladnich has written an inspirational guide for all those who are called to be a catechist to our children. To help prepare for the next school year, share Be An Amazing Catechist with your parish Director of Religious Education and fellow Catechists.
