Report on Parish Catechetical Association Inaugural Mass

“The dignity of man rests above all on the fact that he is called to communion with God”
The PCA i.e. the Parish Catechetical Association of St. Sebastian Church, Aquem organized the inaugural mass on 16th June 2024 at 9 am which marked the beginning of the Catechetical year 2024-25. Before the mass the children had catechism class where they met their catechism Teachers and had a short time together after which all gathered together in the church for the mass. The mass was celebrated by Our Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Agnel Rodrigues. After the post communion rites all the catechists were called in front to take the Oath together followed by the blessing with Holy Water.
The flow of the mass was smooth as all the readers did their part well.
Seeing the children back on their seats felt refreshing as the church looked bare without them just like how a garden looks empty without a flower bed.
After the mass the catechists had their first meeting of the year which ended at around 11:30am.
The catechists for this catechetical year are:
Sr. Godwina, Sr. Justina, Sr. Karol, Meena, Valantina, Bazia, Mieka, Valanka, Andrea, Saloni, Dashia, Loren, Sancha, Rayhan, Cedric, Sherida, Gladys, Valoshka, Savion, Chloe and Rhea.
