Waterloo Catholic
Faith Formation Commission
The Catholic Parishes in Waterloo
formed the
Waterloo Catholic Faith
Formation Commission in 2010. This Commission replaced
separate Faith Formation Committees in each parish.
The Commission normally meets on the
second Tuesday evening of the month (August through May) at
6:30pm in Putz Hall at Blessed Sacrament Parish.
The goal of the Waterloo Catholic
Faith Formation Commission is to
guide the parishes in sharing opportunities and resources which
will better serve the catechetical needs of the Catholic people
in Waterloo.
The
Commission is responsible for developing, implementing
and evaluating a comprehensive catechetical plan
that supports the six tasks of catechesis:
•
knowledge of the faith,
•
liturgical
and moral formation,
•
prayer,
•
education for community life,
•
missionary service.
This
catechetical plan should provide for the
life-long faith formation, education
and spiritual growth of adults and young adults, the
elderly, adolescents, children of early childhood and catechetical age
not enrolled in a Catholic school, families, persons with disabilities and the
marginalized.
The Commission is guided by
the directives of the General Directory for
Catechesis, the National Directory for Catechesis, and applicable
archdiocesan policies.
