Step 6: Plan for the discernment meeting
-
Choose questions for the committee discussion. For example:
-
What are the strengths of each program?
-
What are the limitations of each program?
-
Which program will best meet the catechetical goals of the parish?
-
Which program will offer the opportunity to unify catechetical programs?
-
Which program best prepares students for participation in parish, liturgy, and life?
-
Are catechists provided solid background and easy to use lesson plans that are relational, inspirational, informational, and realistic?
-
How is the family provided support in the religious growth and development of their child?
-
How are technology and media integrated into the catechetical program?
-
Other questions as applicable.
-
Confirm with each member the time, date, and location of the discernment meeting.
-
In your memo you may wish to include a copy of
Form E: Summary by Program Comparison
for the committee member to review before the meeting. Remind them at the
next meeting that they will be involved in a discussion, which will result
in their making a recommendation to the pastor for a catechetical program
to be used in your parish.
