19 catechists commissioned for service in parishes

Today, 19 catechists from the different Parishes of the Archdiocese of Cebu completed their basic Course on Catechism, and were officially commissioned as Catechists for their respective faith communities. Among the 19 were three religious Sisters.

Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma presided over the Holy Mass and the Missio Canonica. He was joined by Fr. Joseph Yntig (ACCM Director) and other visiting priests.

In his homily, the Good Archbishop placed great importance on the role of Catechists, given that they stand at the frontlines of spreading the faith through teaching.

Let us pray for our Catechists that, filled with Missionary Zeal, they may go out to all the world and tell the Good News!
