His Excellency Archbishop Thomas D’Souza of Calcutta has relaunched Catechetics India, a Salesian journal to educate people on the Catholic religious tenets. The launching was held on August 26, 2018, at Don Bosco School, Park Circus, downtown Kolkata.
As reported by mattersindia.com, His Grace Archbishop D’Souza remarked “We all are catechists in our own families, educational institutions, work places, churches and societies. In this identity of ours, the magazine is very rich, very useful and big help for sowing the treasure called faith.” The archbishop lauded Father Gilbert Choondal, the magazine’s chief editor, who volunteered to work in the archdiocese for three years. Father Choondal’s “voluntary presence in the catechetical work in our diocese is a big blessing which will hopefully continue more than three years,” he added.
The revamped issue of Catechetics India has 12 sections, each suffixed with the word CAT (short of catechism), dealing with catechesis on the Bible, the latest Catholic teachings, liturgy, Church icons, faith in family, film catechism, needs of youth and catechism of activity. More than 150 people attended the function that screened presentation on the Synod of Youth scheduled for October 3-28 in Rome.
