A retreat for catechists themed Proclaiming Jesus as the Hope of the World was held April 22-23 at the Minor Basilica of St Anne, Bukit Mertajam. It was organised by the Penang Diocesan Catechetical Commission .
Archbishop Julian Leow, the President of the Malaysian Catechetical Commission, in another video said that catechists are the bearers of hope to help connect the children with Jesus in their daily lives.
