New Directory for Catechesis. The new Directory was published by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the new New Evangelization in March 2020. This year, between March and June 2021, the Maryvale Institute, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Birmingham, offered an online Conference, focussing on the New Directory!
On 25 September 2021 the East Birmingham and Solihull Deanery, together with the Ethnic Chaplaincies, offered a Day Conference, to introduce some key elements of the Directory to
Catechists. The programme is published here on the Diocesan Ethnic Chaplaincies Website
link and there are links to video recordings of the different sessions on Youtube.
The intention is is to make the content of the Day for Catechists available to Catechists,
Parishioners, Ethnic Chaplaincies, Eparchies and Missions for reflection and discussion.
