HISTORY

FCH LOGO

On April 19, 2013, the Forum for Catechesis with Hispanics was approved by the NCCL Board to become the first federation in NCCL. Becoming a federation has been a great accomplishment with many opportunities for learning and growth.

In June 2022, FCH gained its non-profit status to become an independent organization. A new Board of Directors was formed to guide the revitalization process in establishing goals, membership criteria, and increasing membership. FCH continues to support those in the catechetical ministry, both leaders and catechists, as well as publishers and institutes of higher learning.

Me alegra acudir a la FCH y poder expresar las necesidades, y dificultades de nuestra comunidad. Muchas voces no son escuchadas que, en muchos casos aportan grandes dones a la míes. Para que la alegría del Evangelio perdure siempre en nosotros.

The Church in the United States must have a space where religious educators and other pastoral leaders come together on a regular basis to reflect about how catechesis takes place in light of the Hispanic Catholic experience. FCH is without a doubt that space where ideas are shared, catechetical matters are critically engaged, and a fresher vision for the future of religious education in an increasingly Hispanic Church is forged.

Los catequistas Hispanos necesitamos una organización para poder compartir. ¿Qué podemos compartir? Pues, nuestras metas, logros, éxitos, retos y el cómo aprendemos en el camino. FCH es un lugar a donde acudir y encontrar una red de personas con quien se comparte lo que llevo a cabo en las sesiones de catequesis.
