Catechists in Abruzzo and Molise met in Termoli to discuss spiritual life

The Abruzzo-Molise regional catechetical formation conference took place in Termoli on Saturday, October 24, 2026, regarding the spirituality of the catechist.

Bishop Claudio Palumbo, the CEAM delegate, led a Lectio Divina during the opening. The morning sessions included presentations by theologian Rosalba Manes and professor Marco Tibaldi, who described catechesis as a living testimony and personal encounter.

After discussing youth language and the Emmaus scene in Caravaggio's painting, participants worked in subgroups to share their pastoral challenges and questions of faith. The conference ended with Vespers and the delivery of the Catechetical Mandate by the bishop, who tasked the participants with their service in their home parishes.
