During this Year of Faith, Local Churches around the world are striving to make the most of catechesis in the work of evangelization. In view of this, Sunday catechism classes for children in Pakistan have taken on an online dimension. The Archdiocese of Karachi recently launched a new web site (http://cssmk.org), which offers visual and multimedia material to catechism teachers and their students. This content, prepared by the national catechetical office, is at the disposition of all the parishes and dioceses throughout the country.

Up until a short time ago, catechetical teaching instruments were limited to theatrical performances, art, music and games. Today this range of instruments has been expanded thanks to the new audiovisual technologies. Pakistani catechism teachers should find it easy to use these new technologies in proclaiming the Faith since 70% of them are young students themselves.
