In the early Church, Christian doctrines and precepts were instructed to the newly converted persons and it was considered a catechesis.

The commission for Catechism in the Archeparchy includes a priest as its chairman and erudite and committed religious and lay leaders as its members. Sensing the importance of the commission and the geographical distance of the parishes, a regional arrangement is provided in Malabar with a regional director and commission members.

Catechism Commission equip catechism teachers with seminar and training programme according to the need of the time and conduct courses and exams. The objective of this Micro Website is to put together catechetical news, resources, articles, and other materials that would help individuals and teachers to promote and teach Catechism.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11601″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row parallax=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1539785091129{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_empty_space height=”56px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Quick Links” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:26|text_align:left|color:%23aaaaaa” google_fonts=”font_family:Alfa%20Slab%20One%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text][logo-carousel id=catechism-home][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row parallax=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1582867428206{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Catechism Blog” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:26|text_align:center|color:%23dbdbdb|line_height:20px” google_fonts=”font_family:Alfa%20Slab%20One%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1582866237321{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”6″ item=”11011″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1582890936261-01879c0d-3584-3″ taxonomies=”67, 80″][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][vc_btn title=”VIEW ALL CATECHISM POSTS” color=”juicy-pink” size=”lg” align=”center” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-double-right” add_icon=”true” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fkottayamad.org%2Fcategory%2Fcatechism%2F|||”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][vc_btn title=”VIEW ALL CATHOLIC TEACHINGS POSTS” color=”juicy-pink” size=”lg” align=”center” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-double-right” add_icon=”true” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fkottayamad.org%2Fcategory%2Fcatholic-teachings%2F|||”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
