PC Molyko Baptizes and Confirms Christians After Three Weeks of Catechumen Classes
Clad in white, candidates of the three-week catechumen classes occupied the front benches in the center section of the church during the second service at PC Molyko on Sunday, August 23, 2026, happily awaiting baptism and confirmation.
The catechumen classes ran from August 1 to 22, 2026, during which the candidates were taken through lessons aimed at deepening their understanding of the Christian faith and preparing them for full membership in the church.
They were taught about the Christian faith, the Bible, church doctrine, Christian conduct and their responsibilities as members of the church. At the end of the classes, they were examined to assess their understanding before being admitted for baptism or confirmation.
Accompanied by their godparents, the candidates for baptism included 18 adults and four infants, while 21 Christians were presented for confirmation.
The candidates took their oath, administered by the Parish Pastor, Rev. Dr. Mrs. Tabi Pascaline. After they had all accepted, the activity began, first with baptism and then confirmation, conducted by Rev. Dr. Mrs. Tabi Pascaline and the Associate Pastor, Rev. Sone Roland Ngule.
Having publicly professed their faith and received baptism, the 18 adults received the Sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time, receiving the bread and wine as members of the body of Christ.
With the baptism, confirmation and first Holy Communion completed, the celebration quickly moved to photographs.
There were cheers, smiles and congratulatory messages as family members gathered to take pictures for remembrance. The newly baptized and confirmed Christians first took a group photograph in front of the sanctuary with the pastors before joining their godparents, parents, relatives and friends for more pictures inside and outside the church.
The moments brought to an end three weeks of preparation for the candidates and marked another important step in their Christian journey and life in the church.
PC Molyko welcomes its newest members into the body of Christ and prays God’s continued grace over their walk of faith.
