About Us

The word catechetical comes from a Greek word meaning echo. All who hand on the Faith echo the Word of God, as proclaimed in Scripture and through the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our mission is the one Jesus gave his first followers: make disciples of every nation.

We provide support and training to religious education leaders and catechists, who are involved in the ongoing faith formation of adults, youth, children, and persons of all ages with special needs in parishes throughout the archdiocese. We do this from our headquarters at the Terence Cardinal Cooke Catholic Center in Manhattan and from our regional offices in the counties that comprise the Archdiocese of New York.
