A Guiding Light

Archbishop's Message

Archbishop

"Jesus Christ, on the completion of His earthly life and before ascending into heaven, commanded His disciples to 'Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature' (Mark 16:15). This divine mandate continues through the life and mission of the Church today. The Department of Catechesis of the Archeparchy of Kalyan joyfully takes up this sacred responsibility — to form, nurture, and strengthen the faith of our people, especially our children and youth."

"The term 'catechesis' comes from the Greek word 'katechein', meaning 'to echo or to resound'. It signifies the beautiful mission of echoing the Word of God in hearts and homes, helping every believer to know, love, and follow Jesus more deeply. Our Catechetical ministry strives to continue the mission entrusted by Christ by fostering a living faith through systematic teaching, spiritual formation, and active witness."

"I express my heartfelt appreciation to all priests, catechism teachers, and parents who tirelessly work to pass on the light of faith to the younger generation. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen all involved in the catechetical mission, so that our Archeparchy may continue to grow in faith, hope, and love, fulfilling the Lord's command in our time."
