Dear Catechists,

We are excited to have you join the community of Catechists at our Parish! St. Francis of Assisi Church, Jebel Ali, is over 15 years old and our catechism programmes have since grown in leaps and bounds, in both size and numbers, and are now well established. There are currently catechism programmes conducted in English, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Korean, each catechetical year. Of these catechism programmes, 3 of them are conducted in English.

This website is a 'virtual' gathering space, where we meet as a community of Catechists and also where the Parish shares information with you on faith formation opportunities for Catechists, and all other things catechetical - such as retreats, conferences, courses and seminars!

Please visit the Schedules and Resources pages to see the current offerings for catechist training.   This website will be updated continually, therefore bookmark it and do visit it regularly for updates.

In Christ's Love,

Jebel Ali Catechist Training Team
