Our catechetical year runs from February to end November each year.  Catechism is
taught by  15 catechists  who generously  volunteer  their time  to  ensure  that  our
faith is passed on to the children of our parish.  The  Parish thus provides the  means
to   enable   parents   to  meet  their  obligation  and  ensure  that their  children  are
instructed in the Faith.

Catechism Classes
Our catechism classes run every Sunday after Mass  from about 09:00 to 09:45.
A register of attendance is kept and a 80% class and Mass attendance is required
in order for the students to be promoted to the next class.

There are six classes:

Pre-Communion (ages 5 to 7)	This class prepares the children to
	attend catechism on a regular
	basis. Lessons are usually
	craft-based.
First Holy Communion Preparation (ages 8 to 10)	This is a two year programme to
	prepare the child for the Sacrament
	of First Holy Communion.
Post Communion (ages 10 to 11)
Pre-Confirmation (ages 12 to 13)
Confirmation (ages 14 to 16)	This is a two year programme to
	prepare these young adults for the
	Sacrament of Confirmation.
Bridging	The need arose for a bridging class
	to accomodate children who,
	being too old for the First Holy
	Communion class, have had no
	catechism education whatsoever.
