- It invites and enables adults “to acquire an attitude of conversion to the Lord.”
- It helps them “to make a conscious and firm decision to live the gift and choice of faith through membership in the Christian
Community.” - It helps them “to become more willing and able to be a Christian disciple in the world.”
The Tasks of Adult Catechesis is:
- To promote formation and development of life in the Christ.
- To promote evangelization as the means of bringing the good News to all.
- To educate toward the development of an informed moral conscience.
- To clarify the relationship between the Church and the world.
- To develop the foundation of the faith.
- *To encourage adults to assume their baptismal responsibility for the Church’s mission.
