Canon 624

1. The pastor should, keeping to the norms determined by competent authority, make the utmost effort to give catechesis to all

persons entrusted to his pastoral care, whatever their age or

condition. 2. Presbyters and deacons attached to the parish

are bound to render their assistance to the pastors; members of

religious institutes, however, are to assist in accordance with

cann. 479 and 542. 3. Other Christian faithful, properly

formed, are to willingly contribute their assistance in giving

catechesis.
