Catechism

Train children in the right way,
and when old, they will not stray.
Proverbs 22:6

Inspired by this word of God, Catechism has a pivotal role in our parish where we envisage a faith filled future generation who is able to impart the same to their young and keep the flame of faith alive.

Our Catechists carry on the mission of our Lord by living themselves and nurturing the faith of the young, developing Christ-like attitude and service in them, empowering them with traditional prayers and   word of God, imparting the traditions and culture of the Syro-Malabar church and there by developing future leaders of the church.

Our Catechism ministry is built upon these core values.

  • Prayer as a priority in both congregational and personal life.
  • A strong ministry which teaches, equips, and trains children and young people to be discerning and courageous Christians.
  • Ministry that occurs in relationships and close fellowship ensuring mutual respect and development of one another.
  • Setting examples to the young ones by way of life and service.
  • Strengthening own spirituality through regular sacraments, prayer and word of god.
