Parish Faith Formation Leaders


The Center for Catholic Education and Formation (The Center) is grateful for those who minister to the faithful of the Archdiocese of Hartford, and hope to provide resources that support and empower your respective ministries.

For those involved in catechetical ministry, we provide resources for catechists and well as catechetical leaders, and in a special way, those who catechize those with special needs. For preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation, we offer guidelines and resources for both youth and adult Confirmation catechists.

Training opportunities and resource support are made available for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) Coordinators and those who minister to adults in faith formation as well as for those engaged in Youth Ministry or ministry to Young Adults.

For other resources not named here or not available on this website, please feel free to contact The Center at 860.242.5573. We would be happy to share what resources we have or direct you to more.
