They form the think tank of the Commission and draw up plans for imparting scripture based instructions to school, college and parish Catechism students and effectively execute them.  Their task includes drawing up of the Syllabus for each class, setting up a question bank for school, college and parish annual catechisms examination and diocesan annual catechism examination.
