"A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well-developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise."

 (Adult Catechesis in the Christian Community: Some Principles and Guidelines: United States Catholic Conference, 1992, no. 25) Catechesis is nothing other than the process of transmitting the Gospel. Much of what we do as a community is centered on the fundamental tasks of receiving, understanding, living, communicating and celebrating the Gospel.
