Adult Faith Formation
Adult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be ‘the central task in the catechetical enterprise,’ becoming the ‘the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age.

- The National Directory for Catechesis
- Called and Gifted for the Third Millenium, 1995, Reflections of the USCCB on the 30th anniversary of the Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity and the 15th anniversary of Called and Gifted
