Who are catechists? They are people who keep the memory of God alive; they keep it alive in themselves and they are able to revive it in others.”

Catechetical Ministry
He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
~Mark 10:13-14
Catechism can be defined as the essential teachings of the Catholic Church, providing a comprehensive summary of the knowledge and traditions behind Catholicism.
At Holy Family Church, we believe that Catechism is more than the imparting of knowledge. We trust that Catechism also offers our young ones a chance to come together in faith and deepen their relationships with the Holy Trinity.
Please view our references and resources below if you have enrolled or are thinking of enrolling your child in Catechism.
We are looking for…
- Catechists / Assistant Catechists (with or without experience);
- Facilitators to journey with our teens in our Sacrament of Confirmation Preparation Programme
- Trained Professionals in handling children with special needs or Volunteers with experience in handling children with special needs;
- Musicians to support our Catechetical Programme;
- Administrators; and
- Parent Volunteers
Please click here to register your interest in joining us as a volunteer and we shall get in touch with you soon on the next briefing session for new volunteers.
In the meantime, if you have any queries or require any clarification, please feel free to e-mail to us.
Thank You and God Bless!
Classes have started 17th/18th Feb 2024.
