Christian Education in School Catechesis

Summary/Abstract: The term “Christian education” is ambiguous and open to interpretation. It is identified with catechesis and education in faith. The Christian education is a “help given to man in the formation of manhood in the pursuit of his ultimate end, which is generally understood as the union of man with God through the practice of charity” (Gravissimum Educationis, No. 2). The Christian education in school catechesis means that parents, teachers, educators and religion teachers take into account the basic spheres of educational influence in their actions, i.e. the physical, emotional, intellectual, moral, spiritual, religious, and social sphere, as well as the sphere of values and freedom. The understanding of man as a human person underlies the concept of education. Education in school catechesis involves developing the student’s abilities, skills and interests, and providing the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired during classes. Therefore, catechesis should include biblical, liturgical, moral as well as communal and missionary education. Education in school catechesis is to show the student in the Christian perspective. Parents, religion teachers and priests should develop the student’s spiritual skills and awake the joy of the Christian life among them.
