Catholic Faith Formation education is more than the handing on of religious instruction.  Its goal is growth in faith, which implies both formation and transformation, leading one to live out the Gospel as part of a believing community.   Religious education is a lifelong process.  Everyone including the Catechist, is always a learner.  Catholic education is an expression of the mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church.  Through education, the church seeks to prepare its members to proclaim the Good News and to translate this proclamation  into action.
