Background/Rationale:

“The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task,
at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.”
This inspiring line is from Pope John Paul II, known for his undying service to the church
wherein he meticulously and brilliantly developed the church and the world. Enthused by
his statement and actions, the “catechists” want to spread and aid the children in order to
prepare, enlighten and strengthen their relationship to God by His teachings and values
through the ways of the Church.

As the members of the team of parish workers, they will conduct a catechism about
the development and the contributions of the Church to the Modern Christian Life and
how can the children be exposed to the church practices. Through this movement, it can
influence other people and widen the evangelization to the Catholic life. Furthermore, the
catechists will be working hand in hand with the church in order to make all the plans
possible.

Purpose/Objectives:

 To impart the significance and contributions of the Catholic Church to the people,
especially to the young Catholics.
 To strengthen the faith of the children through the teachings of the church thus
bringing them closer to God.
 To instill the minds of the children the basic knowledge concerning the growth and
development of the Church.
 To do our part us stewards of the Catholic Church.
 To obtain the threefold tasks of the Church – Prophetic, Priestly and Kingly.
 To help spread awareness of the CBCP and BEC’s theme, “The Parish
Communion of Communities” and be agents of communion, participation and
mission.

Kind of Program:

A) Catechesis – According to Catholic News Agency, The word catechesis comes

from the Greek meaning "to echo the teaching" meaning that catechesis or the
teaching of the faith is an interactive process in which the Word of God re-
sounds between and among the proclaimer, the one receiving the message,
and the Holy Spirit! Catechesis is a life-long process of initial conversion,
formation, education, and on-going conversion. In this proposal, our main
targets are the children of God and “Catechesis is nothing other than the
process of transmitting the Gospel, as the Christian community has received it,
understands it, celebrates it, lives it and communicates it in many ways." -
