The tasks of Mystagogy (Catechism #1025) are to lead through proclaiming (Catechesis) 1) from the visible to the invisible, 2) from the symbols of faith to the realities, 3) from sacraments to the mysteries of faith, 4) as a "public work" of the Church to develop, learn from, and share local "catechisms", i.e., program manuals, and 5) to lead Catholics into the Sacramental culture of the Church, i.e., a world that is pregnant with meaning in a secular world and marked with signs of God's presence, power, and healing for all.
