Over 200 catechists and RCIA facilitators from the five states of the Diocese of Penang were commissioned as Evangelising Catechists by Bishop Sebastian Francis at the Minor Basilica of St Anne, Bukit Mertajam.“The role of sharing the faith is the most important and challenging ministry in the Church. It is not just something that is “touch & go” but is systematic and needs preparation,” said Bishop Sebastian in his opening address on April 23.
After the homily, his Lordship explained that the faith sharers have been given a new identity of being Evangelising Catechists. According to the Directory for Catechesis , Pope Francis described catechists as people who keep the memory of God alive in themselves and are able to revive it in others. His Lordship then explained the new identity of Evangelising Catechists within the context of the Mission Statement of Evangelising Catechists. The five principles of the mission are as follows: Firstly, to seek to deepen a personal encounter with Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Secondly, to proclaim the core message of the Gospel, the kerygma.
