Fr. Rolando Montes de Oca, from Cuba, remembers the Church of his childhood

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In many of the world’s poorest countries, catechists play a fundamental role in preserving faith in daily life. ACN supports the theological basic education of thousands of women and men around the world. Fr. Rolando Montes de Oca, from the diocese of Camagüey in Cuba, still remembers the impact that a catechist’s commitment had on his faith.

Today is World’s Teachers’ Day, let us thank all catechists for their selfless effort to spread the faith!
