👉 In Catholicism, a catechist is a person who teaches and instructs children in Christian doctrine. They are typically ordained priests or religious sisters who have received ordination from the Pope and are commissioned by their diocese to teach and lead catechetical activities. The role of a catechist is to help young people understand and appreciate the importance of faith, morals, and the Church's teachings through simple and relevant examples from Scripture, history, and secular literature.
