The Catechists of the Aldona Parish have rendered yeoman service to the community by imparting doctrinal knowledge to our children in:
- Preparing them for First Holy Communion - Preparing them for Confirmation - Post Confirmation instructions A need is now felt of acquiring an LCD Projector (along with a screen, PC etc) for better audio-visual communication. This will certainly enhance the quality of instructions imparted to the children through the medium of religious movies and other presentations. Needless to say, the equipment could be also be employed in connection with other church activities requiring audio-visual equipment - like seminars, retreats and religio-cultural events. The cost of the equipment is estimated at approximately Rs 70,000/-, hence a strong plea is hereby sincerely made to all the Aldona Parishioners, resident and non-resident, as well as well wishers to kindly come forward to contribute towards this worthy cause. We hope to collect the required amount soon so that the equipment is in place before the next Catechetical Year which starts in June 2009. We thank you in anticipation, and may God bless you for your generosity.
