The Vision of the Diocese of Austin Office of Evangelization and Catechesis is: 

• To deepen the local Church’s communion with the Lord Jesus while equipping individuals and parishes for Christian discipleship that includes fruitful sacramental life;
• To enliven the local Church’s missionary impulse through spiritual formation and support so that Catholics may become more effective witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
• To support the vital ministry of catechesis through the education and formation of parish catechists and ministry leaders.
• To implement the directives of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan through a consistent, professional, and pastoral response to the needs of deaneries, parishes, and language/ethnic groups.
