Vision -Mission Statement
Vision:
Communion of Christ-centered
institutions committed to the pursuit of
excellence in catechesis and religious

programs and faculty development
2.To promote co-responsibility and sharing of
“best practices” through networking

need help in establishing new catechetical
centers

10. 4. To implement self-assessment and
certification among member schools as a
process towards, and commitment to,
continuing improvement in quality
religious education
5.To assist member-institutions in seeking
endowments and grants that will ensure
continuity of programs and projects
6.To engage in advocacy in issues involving
government and ecclesiastical policies which
impact on religious education

11. Rationale:
Responding to the emerging challenges in the
catechetical apostolate in the Philippines, and in
order to set standards for the catechetical
centers/institutes in the country, the Association
of Catechetical Centers and Colleges with
Religious Education (ACCCRE) established a
certification process for catechetical centers and
institutes based on the guidelines of the General
Directory for Catechesis which lists the three
dimensions of formation as knowing, being and
doing/savoir-faire (know-how).

12. The requirements for
certification focus on content of
the curriculum, spirituality and
competence of the formator and
student catechist, the pedagogical
formation, practicum and
communication formation.
