Abstract
While preparation for sacraments and liturgical life used to be the task of catechesis for a long period in the past, nowadays the influence of growing de-Christianisation, new tendencies in the renewal of catechesis and other influences insist more on problems and difficulties related to catechesis and liturgy, and less on their positive mutual influence. This article, divided into three parts, starts with the issues related to the relationship between liturgy and catechesis, which are the consequence of the possible wrong interpretations of this relationship. The second, central part points out some of the basic objectives of liturgical education, where it is, above all, important to acquire the Council conception of religious education that has the task to establish unity and provide the introduction into the full experience of Christian faith and Church life: preaching, service, celebration and communion. Education in faith is essential for all the catechetical activities where dimension of celebration and the connection between liturgy and life play an important part. Some concrete proposals for our catechetical practice are based on theoretical reflection, as well as on Plan and program of the parish catechesis.
