Curriculum Evaluation Matrix by Brian Lemoi

"All of these tasks are necessary. As the vitality of
the human body depends on the proper function of
all of its organs, so also the maturation of the
Christian life requires that it be cultivated in all its
dimensions: knowledge of the faith, liturgical life,
moral formation, prayer, belonging to community,
missionary spirit. When catechesis omits one of
these elements, the Christian faith does not attain
full development.
