The Catechetical Advisory Group is available to assist Directors of Religious Education and Coordinators of Religious Education as mentors and problem solvers. They enjoy being asked to share their wisdom. Please do not hesitate to contact them for help.

The Catechetical Advisory Group is a representative group of Directors of Religion Education from the various deaneries. In their three-year term, they serve as an advisory board to the diocesan Office of Children’s Catechesis and meet bi-monthly.
