Este foro, que forma parte de LTP (Liturgical Publications), presentará una visión para este año de formación. Los participantes se verán fortalecidos y desafiados a considerar los diversos modos en que la “catequesis antecede a la liturgia y es un fruto de ella” (Directorio Nacional para la Catequesis, 33).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text 0=””]Contenido de las sesiones:
