(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.”

WHAT is St Tarcisius Catechetics?
It is a project initiated by Pro Ecclesia to create a fully traditional and orthodox children’s Catholic faith formation programme for children aged 6 – 13 years, of the kind that was readily available, indeed, was the norm in the Catholic world prior to the tsunami of Vatican II slamming into the Church.
It is a project initiated by Pro Ecclesia to create a fully traditional and orthodox children’s Catholic faith formation programme for children aged 6 – 13 years, of the kind that was readily available, indeed, was the norm in the Catholic world prior to the tsunami of Vatican II slamming into the Church.
In essence, we are engaging in
asymmetrical spiritual warfare where small bands of guerrilla traditional
Catholics bypass the modernist strongholds of the Catholic Education Service
(CES) to provide the much-needed sustenance of the One True Faith to the
spiritually starving children and families who have been abandoned by the
Church hierarchy to a false ecumenism and rank subservience to the ‘values’ of
the modern, Godless world.
WHY do we need to do this?
Heart-breaking though it is, we have to face reality and recognise that mainstream Catholic education does not actually exist in this country or in the majority of the rest of the world. It has been wilfully and deliberately destroyed by the zealots (both clerical and lay) of “multiculturalism”, (false) “ecumenism”, “inter-faith dialogue” and “new theology” who have controlled the CES and diocesan education offices for the past 45 years.

Even more appalling than this is the fact
that the majority of Bishops not only actively and enthusiastically support the
open acceptance and teaching of heresy and indifferentism in so-called ‘Catholic Schools ’
but they resist any and all attempts to rectify the situation. The past forty
five years have given us an extensive and ignoble record of Bishops ignoring,
ridiculing, bullying and openly persecuting faithful and concerned parents and
teachers who try to draw attention to the crime being committed against
generations of Catholic children on their watch.
WHEN will it be available?
That totally depends on how many people are willing to step up and join the fight by volunteering their time, energy and abilities to create the programme. Simply put, we need volunteers; in the first instance, people with modest computer skills (able to use MS Word for example) who are willing to give of their time to work on the lessons and modules with guidance and help from Pro Ecclesia.

HOW will it be done?
Pro Ecclesia will provide
the course structure and volunteers will be asked to create lessons and modules
of the curriculum using some material supplied by us and suitable material from
any other sources, including those they have already created if they are
homeschoolers or Religious Education teachers. This will be co-ordinated via
Pro Ecclesia and, when we are ready to begin rolling it out, parents will be
able to sign-up to receive the courses via email or access them on our website.
Very importantly, this will all be free at the point of use; there will be no
charge to families wishing to use any of the resources for their children.
WHERE will the course be available?
Thanks to the global nature of the internet, anyone anywhere in the world (with internet access) will be able to use it. Likewise, anyone can volunteer to help from anywhere in the world.

WHO is it for?
The courses are intended for Catholic families, whether they home-school or not; for parents or grandparents concerned about the spiritual wellbeing of children, especially if they are in a so-called “Catholic” school. The scale of the abandonment of the flock by the shepherds and teachers is so immense that there are now (at least) two generations who have not been properly catechised themselves. As a result, many parents and grandparents are, rightly, concerned about their children and grandchildren but are unsure of the very basics of the Faith themselves. By working through the lessons (with “Teacher’s notes”) children, parents and grandparents can grow in knowledge and love of the Faith together. As St Augustine of Hippo tells us, “You cannot love what you do not know”.
