The long-awaited Policy for Catechesis was promulgated on 4 November 2014 by Archbishop Brislin. Printed copies were blessed and distributed to those present. Further copies are available from the CPD offices. This policy comes into effect immediately and it is most important that all Catechists attend training and workshops to be held in 2015.
We are still waiting for the Responses to the SACBC Phase III questionnaire from many Parishes. Please send these in ASAP. Similarly we also require your Ecclesia Statistics.
