Catholic Education directly affects more than 20,000 youth and adults.

 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: “The Office of Religious Education calls forth the leadership and creative potential of adult Christians to enhance their spiritual and professional skills to develop sound religious education programs in all the parishes of the Archdiocese.”  

RE programs are held at 82 parishes/missions with 13,500 students learning and growing in their faith with the help of 1,914 Catechists, many of whom attend workshops and the Fall Catechetical Congress, becoming certified Catechists and youth ministers. Department provides policies and resources for programs and their leaders.

Soon to be launched is the Adult Faith Formation Resource Binder.  This is a project that has been realized through the collaboration of the Pastoral Ministry Office and the Office of Religious Education and the efforts of faith-filled adults who answered the call to form an Adult Faith Formation Task Force. This binder is a resource for parishes and Adult Faith Formation programs throughout the OKC Archdiocese, intent on providing ongoing faith formation opportunities for adults.  The combined efforts of many people have produced a resource that offers an introduction to Adult Faith Formation, ideas on how to get a program started, planning and evaluation materials, other resources, and an extensive list of topics and speakers who are available to travel to the many parishes throughout the Archdiocese. The binder is arranged in two sections with information and resources in English and Spanish.
