The Catechetical inaugural day was held on the 10th of July 2022. The theme for this year was “Follow-me”. The Holy mass began with a procession by the catechists who gracefully walked the aisle and took their seats. The large participation by the children and parents greatly proved that catechism was truly missed. During the introductory prayer- the catechists read about the explanation of the logo and the same was displayed on the Screen. The choir was melodious and prayerful. Fr. Leslie Gomes our catechetical animator was the celebrant for the Holy mass, and preached an inspiring homily of following Jesus through all the situations of our life. After the Holy Communion, the catechists took the oath of imparting faith to the young minds. After the Holy mass, sweets/wafers were distributed to the children who then left for their homes with a smile.
After two long years, we finally began with our catechism offline classes. The catechists enrolled for this year are Cedric Rodrigues, Savion Fernandes, Sloma Fernandes, Mieka Ferrao, Valantina Fernandes, Rhea U Bangalorkar, Melissa Fernandes, Saloni Fernandes, Valanka Crasto, Monica Fernandes, Sr. Godwina Pereira, Melissa D’Cunha, Snowvia Baptista, Andrea Baptista, and Bazia D’Costa. In addition to this, five new catechists namely, Sr. Caitana Miranda, Juvella Rebello, Chloe Moraes, Valoshka Pires and Meena Vaz have become part of this beautiful association along with our Parish Priest Fr. Andrew Pereira and catechetical animator Fr. Leslie Gomes.
