What is a Catechist?The word catechist comes from the Greek word “echo”. Catechists are people who ECHO the Word of God.
“Catechists must hand on the teachings of Christ to those being catechized; …Catechists must make the words of Christ their own: ‘My teaching is not my own but is from the one who sent me,’ and they confess with Saint Paul, ‘I handed on to you … what I also received.’” National Directory for Catechesis (Ch 4:29E)

"Among the laity who become evangelizers, catechists have a place of honor... 'Imbued with the apostolic spirit, they make a singular and absolutely necessary contribution to the spread of the faith and the Church by their strenuous efforts.'" Pope John Paul II (Redemptoris missio).
