Catechism
Main Catechetical Programme (Catechism)
Catechism is the structured faith formation programme that aims to teach children and youth the basic doctrine and sacraments of the Catholic faith. The objective is to enable all to grow in faith and discipleship and to develop in them a loving and special relationship with God. Catechism for Primary school-going children will prepare them to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion (usually when they are in Primary 3). The Sacrament of Confirmation is administered to Secondary 3 students as part of the Catechetic programme.
