Catechesis to resume when schools reopen
Local churches resumed public religious services last weekend, but catechesis will only be an option once again when schools and universities reopen their classrooms.

In the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady, the new cycle will start a week later, with fewer catechists and something fresh: the rehabilitation of catechesis for preschool children.
