This CPD course is designed to equip catechists with a comprehensive understanding of moral formation, focusing on the psychological and spiritual development of children and pre-adolescents. Over five engaging sessions, participants will learn how to tailor catechetical formation to meet the unique needs of each child, respecting their gradual development. The course integrates insights from social sciences and the Catholic moral tradition, grounding the content in the Gospel and contextualizing it within the family, academic, and community environments where children live.
Catechists will develop a deeper understanding of the Commandments as expressions of God’s love and covenant, and learn effective pedagogical strategies for communicating these teachings to children and pre-adolescents. The course also provides tools to convey the significance of the Beatitudes, helping catechists inspire the younger generation. Additionally, the program explores the moral formation of children in discovering their personal vocation.
By the end of this course, catechists will be empowered to confidently guide children and pre-adolescents on their moral and spiritual journeys, laying a strong foundation for a life rooted in Christian values.
