Educational dimension of participation in the Work of the Pontifical Missionary Children

Abstract

The formation of religious movements and associations is part of the wider catechetical activity. Activity numerous parish groups undoubtedly encouraging, but far more important than their quantity and diversity is essential to the implementation of these organizations, the knowledge of Jesus Christ and to live the Gospel. Therefore, any of them can not do without a serious study of Christian doctrine. Proper formation of the religious members of the group closely linked to the fruitfulness of certificates submitted by them -it is hard to witness to Christ, if you have not experienced His action in their own lives.Properly conducted catechesis in the movements, groups and associations should include doctrine, celebration and commitment to life. These three dimensions of formation are not incompatible with the charism of the specific nature of the group, but supported by its membership of the Church and fidelity to his teachings. Some of them directly express responsibility for the community of believers in its universal dimension. An example of such an organization is the Pontifical Missionary Children (PDMD), operating in a number of smaller local groups.
