The Holy Bible was placed on the decorated table and all those who came in procession proclaimed the importance of the Holy Scripture in their lives through slogans.  The lamp near the Holy Bible was lit from the Paschal Candle signifying the inauguration of the Catechetical year.  Everyone then took the oath to read, meditate and live the Bible in their everyday lives.
The inauguration was followed by the Holy Mass celebrating the feast of the Pentecost.  After the “I believe”, all Catechists came near the altar and took the solemn oath that they would proclaim the Holy Bible and teach catechism with complete dedication during the year.
