Theology Class
Faith Formation through Structured Bible & Theology Studies
The Theology Class initiative supports the Apostolic Visitation’s goal of deepening faith formation among the Syro-Malabar faithful in Europe through structured learning in Sacred Scripture and Catholic Theology.
It strengthens Christian identity and helps the faithful engage the modern world with clarity, maturity, and hope.

- Promote ecumenical understanding through shared theological learning
- Respond thoughtfully to challenges raised against mainstream Christian faith

How it serves Syro-Malabar Europe
In a European context—often marked by secularism and competing ideologies—Theology Class supports mature faith formation, strengthens Christian identity, and helps develop informed disciples and future leaders within families and communities.
Call to Participation
Faithful who wish to grow in Scripture and theology are encouraged to take part and build a habit of lifelong formation.
