The mission of the Office of Faith Formation in the Diocese of Salt Lake City is to accompany parishes and schools in creating a culture of formation that nurtures lifelong missionary disciples.
Develop a unified, comprehensive vision for faith formation across parishes, missions, and schools through collaboration with diocesan offices.
Promote consistent understanding and application of diocesan religious education guidelines in all parishes, missions, and schools.
These are guidelines that define what students should learn, understand, and be able to do. They ensure that teaching is consistent, thorough, and firmly rooted in the four foundational pillars of the Catholic faith.
The following USCCB-approved series are the foundational resources for comprehensive and effective religious education programs.
Catechesis is accompaniment, education and formation in the faith and for the faith. The goal of catechist certification in Catholic parishes and schools is to equip educators with the training and support necessary to nurture continual growth in the faith.
Implementation is a collaborative effort within the field of Catechesis. A well-structured action plan serves as a clear roadmap for bringing plans to life.
