The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is commonly referred to by its abbreviation, CCD, or simply as “Catechism,” and provides religious education to Catholic children attending secular schools.

What does a catechism teacher do?

The term catechist is most frequently used in Catholicism, often to describe a lay catechist or layperson with catechetical training who engages in such teaching and evangelization. This can be in both parish church and mission contexts.

How do you make the catechism class fun?

Trivia games are a challenging yet entertaining way to test and reinforce the teachings of the catechism. Set up your class like a game show and have two teams that “buzz in” or raise their hands to answer trivia questions pertaining to Catholic beliefs and values.
