Bishop Frank J. Caggiano of Bridgeport, Conn., provided an update on the newly launched Institute on the Catechism to the U.S. Catholic bishops during their annual fall plenary assembly Nov. 15 in Baltimore, Md.
Housed within the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis, the outreach initiative launched in 2022 to “proclaim a kerygmatic, evangelizing catechesis to the Catholic faithful in the United States, through the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the guidance of the Directory for Catechesis.”
As chair of the bishops’ Subcommittee on the Catechism, which is responsible for the institute, Caggiano listed recent milestones: Father Daniel J. Mahan, a priest of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, began serving as director in July; a new handbook to guide writers and editors of the creation of catechetical resources is nearing completion; and an upcoming Institute on the Catechism Convocation will be held in Mundelein, Ill., June 17-20, 2024.
