September 06 2015 Sunday, Adult catechism was preached by Rev fr Vincent lobo, Parish priest Nirmalpadav church parapady. After the mass, all the adults of church attended this catechism, which will be on first Sunday of every month.

Rev fr Vincent lobo preached the meaning of Nicene creed.

Some people complain that the Catholic Church is too “doctrinal.” We really don’t need the Creed and all those other teachings, do we? Doctrine is central to who we are as Catholics. Ignorance of doctrine will ultimately lead to a lack of appreciation for one’s faith. We see the effects of this in our Church today and how many Catholics have left the Church because they are simply ignorant of what we really believe.

First of all, what is a creed? It comes from the word “credo,” which means to make a statement of belief or a statement of faith. The first creed came from the actual teaching of the Apostles, hence the title “Apostles Creed.” 

I believe in one God. In the midst of a culture that worshiped many gods (water, love, war, etc.), Yahweh revealed Himself to Abraham and Moses as the one, true God. So, the creed starts by saying that there is one God.

God is our Father. Father is the name that Jesus Himself used and gave to us for God. While the use of the word Father to refer to God may seem commonplace to the Christians of today, it was a unique concept in the early years of the Church. No other religion dares to bring God to such an intimate relationship to man that we may consider ourselves as His children.

Rev fr Vincent lobo, explained it very clearly each and every line by line in vaery meaningful manner.it was held after mass.
