Faith Formation in the Diocese of Salt Lake City is to accompany parishes and schools in creating a culture of formation that nurtures lifelong missionary disciples.
Diocese of Salt Lake City Mission Statement
Our Mission is to believe, celebrate and live the redeeming love of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Utah.
Our Goals
Develop a unified, comprehensive vision for faith formation across parishes, missions, and schools through collaboration with diocesan offices.
Promote consistent understanding and application of diocesan religious education / faith formation guidelines in all parishes, missions, and schools.
These are guidelines that define what students should learn, understand, and be able to do. They ensure that teaching is consistent, thorough, and firmly rooted in the four foundational pillars of the Catholic faith.
Catechesis is accompaniment, education and formation in the faith and for the faith. The goal of catechist certification in Catholic parishes and schools is to equip educators with the training and support necessary to nurture continual growth in the faith.
Implementation is a collaborative effort within the field of Catechesis. A well-structured action plan serves as a clear roadmap for bringing plans to life.
