life as a form of worship and prayer offered
to God.
Prayer is also done in the context of
community such as the different bible
prayer or sharing groups, charismatic
groups, block rosary and other similar
prayer groups.
Liturgy- is the summit toward which the
activity of the Church is directed the
fountain from which all her power flows.,
is the Christian official public worship,
which is centered in the Eucharist and
the other sacraments in the liturgy.

information ” or knowledge about
religion like the scripture , doctrine,
church history, liturgy and morality.
Religious education, in the words of
Pope Benedict XVI “ contributes to the
overall formation of the person and
makes it possible to transform
knowledge into wisdom of lie.”
Social Involvement:
As Christians, we are called upon to take
an active part in transforming our
community, society and the whole
world. . It is integral and essential part of
our life to be actively in finding solutions
to the problems of our society such as:
poverty, oppression, discrimination graft
and corruption , criminality and
environmental destruction.

the call of God to live life as a
faithful disciple of Jesus. He calls us
to live life to the fullest ( Jn,.

Church, the body of Christ and
temple of the Holy Spirit.
