CATECHISM

St. Alphonsa Forane Church has ensured that faith formation or Catechism for all our children is given paramount importance. Ever since its inception, successive Vicars have provided their unconditional support, guidance and wholeheartedly participated in the spiritual development of our children.

There are more than 220 children studying Catechism in St. Alphonsa Forane Church Sunday School from classes Kindergarten to 12th. We have 15 teachers with more than 5 years of experience in teaching Catechism, 3 substitute teachers and office staff to guide our children. The classes are held every Sunday between 08:30 AM to 10:00 AM. It is a moment of pride for us all to state that all our children have successfully passed their Mid Term and Final exams with flying colors. The examinations are conducted under the purview of Commission for Bible and Diocese of Mandya.

Our Sunday school provides students ample opportunities to participate in activities that showcase their talents and learn new talents. During the feast of St. Alphonsa, Parish Day, feast of St. Sebastian, our children put up a cultural extravaganza that resonates in our heart and minds forever. Many of our children have won prizes in Bible Kalaotsavam, Inter-church carol competitions and other events organized by Eparchy of Mandya.

Holy Qurbana and Children Choir

Our Lord Jesus Christ has a special place for Children. It is therefore apt to have a Eucharistic celebration, or Holy Qurbana Which lead by our children every second and fourth Sunday of the month.

In this Qurbana our children from every class in our Sunday school, participate in liturgical activities and bring stationery as offering. This is collectively gifted to lesser privileged brethren

We also have an exclusive choir who have enthralled us with their melodious rendition, ably molded by our dedicated and talented Choir Leader.

Teachers Meeting

In addition to the PTA, our Catechism director, teachers have regular meeting every month. During this meeting, teachers ideate on methods to enhance faith formation, plan for upcoming Eucharistic events and mentor/prepare students for various events conducted by Eparchy of Mandya.

All our accomplishments would not have been possible without the benevolence of God the Almighty, steadfast support of our Vicar Roy, Parents and our dear Parishioners who volunteer and participate wholeheartedly in grooming, molding and mentoring our future citizens.
