Whole Community Catechesis (WCC) is one of many movements within the church attempting to help parishes help Catholic families connect life and faith in a more intentional way.

WCC is less a program than a toolbox.  Within WCC there are a variety of tools that can be employed to help move a community of faith based on their particular history and needs of the community.
