This website, Amazing Catechists, is essentially a blog of resources made for catechists by catechists. I've already had the opportunity to read some of the posts and they are really great. Teaching the faith can be difficult at best, its not like teaching math or science. Let's face it...most of the kids are there by parental mandate and would rather be elsewhere. That's not meant to be a negative remark, but it's really just fact. Now as catechists, we do our best to bring the faith alive, to show kids the beauty of the Church, and the reasons for our convictions. We do our best to show them that a life of Catholic faith is worth it, that it makes sense. But again, let's face it, that's easier said than done. So as catechists, we need all the help we can get. This website is a good starting place. I encourage you all to take a look at it, whether you're a catechist or not.
May the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit fill you up and strengthen you in your catechetical ministry.
