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 20 years old and our catechism programs have since grown in leaps and bounds, in both size and numbers, and are well established.

There are currently catechism programs conducted in English, Arabic, Malayalam, French, German, Polish, Italian, Spanish and Korean. 

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
