Catechism in COTT is the faith formation programme for Catholic children and youth that aims to:

  • Prepare them to be witnesses and disciples of Christ in proclaiming the Word of God
  • Open the way for children and youth to experience the love of God by developing a therapeutic relationship between God and them through prayer and the Gospels; and to be a beacon of love to others;
  • Provide a strong foundation in the knowledge of our faith;
  • Nurture them to become God-fearing , independent, responsible, mature and skillful individuals; and
  • Develop communities through friendship.
