This question will be on the minds of many people when they arrive at Mass on the weekend of Nov. 26-27, the first Sunday of Advent this year, and hear slightly different words as Mass is celebrated. God loves you so much that he reveals information about himself—eternal, unchanging truth in the form of Catholic teaching, drawing on both sacred Scripture and sacred tradition. But doctrinal and moral teaching— which has traditionally been called the deposit of faith—aren’t exactly the same as that area of Church life often called discipline and practice. In the realm of discipline and practice, the Holy Spirit often prompts Church leaders to make adjustments so that a Catholic life is more accessible and engaging for people of various times, places and cultures.

Bible studies. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Faith-sharing groups. Sessions in which to learn about the new Mass translation. Sean Gallagher File photos by These are examples of adult faith formation programs that are offered at parishes across central and southern Indiana, and the list could go on. To make these programs as effective as possible in helping adults learn and live out their faith, Peg McEvoy recommends that parish adult faith formation leaders look to the six tasks of catechesis as laid out in the General Directory for Catechesis, issued by the Vatican in 1997, and the National Directory for Catechesis, approved by the U.S. bishops in 2003. McEvoy, associate director for evangelization and family catechesis of the archdiocese’s Office of Catholic Education, is joined in this recommendation by the members of the archdiocesan Adult Faith Formation Team, many of whom lead catechetical efforts in parishes across the archdiocese. The tasks, as explained in #85-#86 of the General Directory and in #20 of the National Directory, are: • Promoting knowledge of the faith • Liturgical education • Moral formation • Teaching to pray • Education for community life • Missionary initiation The first four tasks correspond to the four pillars of the Catechism of the Above, in this 2008 file photo, Benedictine Father Catholic Church, which explain the Julian Peters, at the time administrator pro-tem Church’s creed, sacraments, moral of SS.

Each deanery has an APARE representative that meets regularly with the organization’s overall leadership. These people, in turn, meet regularly with Ken Ogorek, director of catechesis in the archdiocese’s Office of Catholic Education. “If APARE didn’t exist, I would make something like it,” Ogorek said. “It’s very helpful to have a structure like theirs in place with deanery representation and that line of two-way communication.” Although APARE is independent of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Ogorek knows that working with it is important to further catechesis in parishes across central and southern Indiana. “I feel blessed to have what I think is a great relationship with APARE,” he said. “We work in solidarity with each other.” Thomas Day also feels blessed by having been a member of APARE since its earliest days.
