Synopsis
Echoing the Word is an introduction and interactive process for parish-based catechist formation. The action of echoing is the focus of the process. The word catechesis comes from the Greek katechein, which means echo. Throughout the ages, regardless of culture or language, the central mission of good catechists has been to echo the word of God faithfully and enthusiastically. The second focus of this process is on the word itself. There are many ways that God is made known through this word, through Jesus the Christ, God made human; but also through creation, scripture, the church, the sacraments, and the Holy Spirit.
