  • catechism programme

    Please find below a description of the Catechism Programme for students at St. Joseph's:

    • The catechism enrolls an average of 2000 students annually with a team of nearly 180 dedicated catechists looking after the faith formation of the children.
    • Students join Grade 1 on completion of six years of age and continue their eight-year faith formation that culminates with the sacrament of confirmation in Grade 8.
    • Students already in the Catechism programme will automatically proceed to the next grade.
    • Each year generally starts in September/October and Ends in April/May.
    • Each of these 8 years has a separate curriculum as described below.
      • The program uses 'Sadliers - We believe' series approved by the Apostolic Vicariate of Arabia and the Office of Christian Formation for Parish Catechism across the vicariate for Grades 1-6.
      • Grade 7 and 8 use the 'Called to be faithful - A Confirmation journey' specially developed as a confirmation program for use in the Vicariate.
      • Grades 9 -12 follow 'Life Teen' Programme.
    • For First Holy Communion, Children prepare themselves for the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Grade 3 and receive their First Holy Communion in Grade 4.
    • For Confirmation, preparations for Confirmation begin in Grade 7 and students receive the Sacrament of Confirmation usually during Pentecost which coincides with the end of Grade 8.
    • Post confirmation students join the Youth Program that leads to initiation into Young Adults.
    • In addition to regular lessons, the catechism year features a number of activities oriented towards social responsibility, charity and spiritual growth.
