there are about 22 catechists in the parish and they can be grouped into three categories:
- Simi fulltime
- parttime
- and volunteers
the first and the second groups are Christians s who are having jobs other than catechizes but they spend their remaining time teaching catechism and the third group is generally students who volunteer their time to give a helping hand to teachers. the three groups are offered opportunities for ongoing formation in the parish.
the ideal situation is that we will have one-day good full-time catechists who are well trained and prepare for their roles. however, the spirit of volunteering in our church must be encouraged.
