VMCatechetical Leader Workshop
Create a Catechetical Program Where Vocations Can FlourishChildren encounter God’s call in a powerful way through parish catechesis. Catechetical leaders help shape the faith foundation that opens young hearts to listen for God’s voice. Our Catechetical Leader Workshop equips you with practical tools, inspiring examples, and a clear pathway to build a vocation-producing catechetical program that forms students in faith and purpose.
Why a Catechetical Leader Workshop?
Catechesis shapes the spiritual imagination of children. When vocation awareness is part of that formation, students learn early that God has a plan for their lives. This workshop equips catechetical leaders to build programs that foster prayer, discernment, and a deeper openness to God’s call.

“I am not capable of doing big things, but I want to do everything, even the smallest things, for the greater glory of God.”
— St. Dominic Savio
