Re sound
What is Resound?
The word “catechesis” literally means “to resound” – to echo the voice. True catechesis takes place when we listen to the voice of Christ resounding in His Church via Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. The Catechism of the Catholic Church trains us to listen to Christ’s voice, allowing Him to encounter us, heal us, transform us, and send us into the world to be His witnesses.
Resound is a regular weekly gathering in which we move slowly through each paragraph of the Catechism, pausing for reflection, questions, and discussion.
