Catechists in our parish: One of the most important duties of a parish is to pass on the gift of faith to children and young people, and therefore the role of a catechist is a very important one. While we wholeheartedly thank those who offer this service, we would like to appeal for more catechists, both for children who are preparing to receive the sacraments and for the youth category. Due to recently introduced policies, each class will have two catechists/support staff, and no class will be held when only one catechist is present. Therefore, those who can and wish to offer this service are kindly asked to speak to one of the priests in our parish.
In addition to catechists, we would need Catechism Support Educators ("CSEs") whose function would be to assist the main catechist. The CSEs won't be doing any talking/preparation/lesson plans, they will simply stay during the duration of the class with the main catechist and provide any logistical support to the main catechist as may be required. So, there are various way to contribute to our parish's catechism endeavours and your help is greatly appreciated.
Catechism classes in Għasri will open again in October (with the scholastic year) and are held at the upper floor of Għasri Parish Centre which has been renovated with interactive whiteboards and other minor infrastructural embellishment to make it suitable for this fundamental pastoral work.
