Vision
The vision of the Catechism department is to nurture the
faith formation of children, fostering their spiritual,
ecclesial, and social growth. We strive to provide a platform
that encompasses faith formation, value education, worship,
and service.
Objectives
Our objective is to cultivate leadership qualities among our children,
empowering them to become confident and compassionate individuals.
Moreover, we aim to guide them in recognizing our unique and distinct
identity as St. Thomas Christians in the Diocese of Kalyan. Additionally,
we encourage our children to showcase their hidden talents through
active participation in various religious and cultural events of
the Church. Together, we embark on a journey of holistic development,
nurturing the minds, hearts, and spirits of our young ones.

every grandparent in the parish. Families stand and pray
together for the Holy Mass.
Faith Formation Day
Children participate in the yearly St. Thomas Academy,
where they prepare a variety of cultural performances both
individually and collectively as a Catechism department,
imparting in them Christian principles of cooperation,
diligence, and teamwork.
Christmas celebration & Outreach programme

and PTF members, all choose Christmas friends. Throughout the

eventually given to the orphanage/old age home outreach programme.
The suggested planners are diligently followed by students as they
participate in the Christmas events.
