“We, as the Catholic Bishops of the United States, call the Church in our country to a renewed commitment to adult faith formation, positioning it at the heart of our catechetical vision and practice.” (From the “Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us”, A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Nov. 17, 1999).
