Catechism for the Mamas: PNP Feeding at MGCP

angfrayle on July 19th, 2008

Below are the modules I have been giving to the mothers and the volunteers who are involved in the Pondo ng Pinoy Feeding Program of the parish. The “students” are mostly mothers who are also engaged in ministry in different areas of our parish’s life. The modules below is just part of a larger program of adult catechism directed to mothers.

The modules are delivered in Tagalog. The technical terms you find in this article are avoided in actual delivery.

CCC 106
¶106 God inspired the human authors of the sacred books. "To compose the sacred books, God chose certain men who, all the while he employed them in this task, made full use of their own faculties and powers so that, though he acted in them and by them, it was as true authors that they consigned to writing whatever he wanted written, and no more."
