In a message for the 13th Ordinary Assembly and 10th Study Days of the Society of Latin American Catechists (Sociedad de Catequetas Latinoamericanos, SCALA), 杏MAP导航 Leo XIV warmly greets the event鈥檚 organizers and participants, expressing his hope that they will 鈥渉ave as their main objective reflection on the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the centre and goal of catechesis.鈥

He goes on to encourage them, 鈥渂ased on this loving knowledge of Jesus鈥, to renew within themselves 鈥渢he desire to proclaim Him, to 鈥榚vangelize鈥, and to lead others to say 鈥榶es鈥 to faith in Him, showing forth His loving presence.鈥

Founded in 1995, SCALA is comprised of scholars and researchers focusing on catechesis from various parts of Latin America; seeking through catechesis to contribute to the evangelizing mission of the Church in Latin America.

This year鈥檚 Assembly and Study Days are taking place from 7-11 July, and bring together scholars from Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Honduras, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Mexico.

During their time in Asuncion, scholars will focus on the synodal path initiated by 杏MAP导航 Francis, with the hope of offering guidance to catechists from a theological perspective.
