CATECHISTS: THE UNSUNG HEROES/ENGINE ROOM OF THE NIGERIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Image
 CATECHISTS: THE UNSUNG HEROES/ENGINE ROOM OF THE NIGERIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. When we hear of the word “ Catechist ” we often picture an image of a man shabbily dressed in purple cassock (and white surplice at times), running helter-skelter inside the church or parish compound. This image underscores the neglect and contempt which we usually apportion to these men of God. But beneath that haggard outlook lies men (and women) who are the life-wire of our parish churches. The catechist is literally the secretary general of the parish. In the civil service terms, he may be called the permanent secretary of the church ministry without whom the church cannot function properly. He is expected to be present in virtually all the activities of the church and to supply any lacking service therein. Thus, he is there at every baptism, every wedding, every confirmation, every burial, indeed in every celebration of the sacrament. Added to this is the fact that he is the publicity and financial s...
