The phase two of Basic Training for Catechists (BTC) in Hindi was organised at Nitika Don Bosco, Kolkata from 5th to 8th February 2024. This training programme was for the parish lay Catechists. Twenty-six members had registered for the same but only twenty-three completed the above said programme. All the Catechists were from our own Salesian parishes of Katihar, Siliguri, Oodlabari and Soroswatipur. The resource persons for this training programme were Rev. Fr. Arvind Khalkho, Fr. Nirmal Toppo, Fr. Fabian Toppo from Morning star College, Fr. Pepin Gnana from the Archdiocese of Kolkata, and Fr. Kumudo Digal. Besides the participants had the opportunity to listen to the inaugural message from Rev. Sunil Kerketta the vice- Provincial and on the third day a session was taken by Rev. Fr. Joseph Pauria, the Provincial. The participants were very happy and were grateful for the course. They expressed their desire participate in the coming year as well. The course was designed to touch on the Biblical, liturgical, ecclesial, Devotional and Marian dimensions of our faith. Special thanks to all the parish priests who sent their catechists for training. Thanks to Fr. Jijo and the community at Nitika and Provincial House for facilitating the programme.
