Directoire catéchétique général

The organisation for catechesis within the area of every Conference of Bishops consists chiefly of diocesan, regional and national structures. The principal purposes of these structures are:a) to promote catechetical activities; andb) to cooperate with other apostolic undertakings and works (for example, with the liturgical commission, with associations for the lay apostate, with the ecumenical commission, and so on), because all these activities of the Church have a part, even though in different ways, in the ministry of the word.
