“I encourage all pastors, their parish catechetical leaders, and all principals to promote the  certification process among their ministry leaders, teachers, and volunteer catechists as a tool with which to inspire and facilitate life-long formation in the Faith. “The missionary character of catechesis is more evident now than it has been in the past. Catechesis that awakens an initial faith and encourages conversion to Christ in an increasingly secular culture is bearing positive results” (National Directory for Catechesis, 10). The catechist certification process can advance an encounter with Christ, cultivate a spirit of transformation, and foster mature discipleship.”
– ╬ Wilton D. Gregory, past Archbishop of Atlanta
