To upgrade our catechists in their social and pastoral knowledge for the better service in the Church, St. Luke’s college organized and provided a No.(4) Renewal Course from 18th to 29 March, 2023. (43) Catechists from Myitkyina, Bamaw and Lashio dioceses participated.
The curriculum for the renewal course was designed by the academic dean and directors based on the evaluations of the past experiences and the current situations.

We are very much delighted for the provided course for our catechists. We got a lot of good feedbacks from the participants. There are more than a hundred catechists longing for this kind of course especially in remote villages. Currently there are about 600 catechists working in the fields. We expect to provide them renewal courses every year.
