Director's Message
Forming Faith, Shaping Souls
The Faith Formation Department of the Archeparchy of Kalyan is
devoted to nurturing a deep and living faith, firmly grounded
in the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and the sacred tradition
of the Catholic Church. Faith formation is a lifelong pilgrimage
that begins in the family, where parents serve as the primary
and most influential witnesses of faith. Through sound catechesis
and spiritual guidance, children are formed to grow in wisdom,
virtue, and a faithful relationship with God. Every child is
inspired to cherish the Catechism, to live out the Gospel with
courage, and to shine as true disciples and witnesses of Christ
in the world.
May this platform be a beacon of Catholic faith
and understanding, leading us ever closer to the Heart of Christ
and uniting us as one family within His Church.
Fr. Raphael Ainickal
Director, Department of Catechism
