The second phase of Basic Training for Catechists (BTC) in Santhali was organised at Nitika Don Bosco, Kolkata from 9-12 October 2023. This training was specifically designed for parish lay Catechists. There were altogether 46 participants from our own Salesian parishes of Azimpganj, Boropahari, Joypur, Gazole and Dhobasole. The resource persons for this training programme were Rev. Fr. David Mondal, Fr. Nanku Nicholas, Fr. Kumudo Digal and Fr. Philemon Hansda from Raiganj Diocese. Out of the 46 attendees, 33 successfully completed the second phase of training and were given certificates of participation. While the other 15 attendees succefully completed the first phase of their training programme. The participants expressed their gratitude and were pleased with the course's design, which focused on the Biblical, sacramental, liturgical, pedagogical, ecclesial, and Marian aspects of faith. We extend our special thanks to the parish priests who sent their Catechists for training. Overall, it was a fruitful experience for all the Catechists.
