 “The catechesis of adults…is the principal form of catechesis, because it is addressed to persons who have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form.” (Catechesis Tradendae # 43)  The catechetical formation of adults is essential for the Church to carry out the commission given the apostles by Christ.  “Because of its importance and because all other forms of catechesis are oriented in some way to it, the catechesis of adults must have high priority at all levels of the Church.” (NDC # 188) National Directory for Catechesis
