Catechism
The truth of the faith is most essential for the spiritual awakening of the parish. Religious teachers in our parish under the leadership of Our Vicar are working together to nurture future generations as noble citizens in the society. The ministry of Catechism holds an important place in the life and mission of the Church and in the faith formation of the People of God.

We work with the next generation to implement in them the right belief and knowledge about Christ and His Church.
Catechism classes are conducted throughout the year on Sundays. The vicar of the parish is the patron of Sunday School. Along with him, a team of 13 catechesis and 5 assistant teachers are actively participating in the catechism training class.
