Sunday school, catechism

Sunday school：主日學（校）；主日要理班：工商忙碌社會中的教友兒童，在平日沒有時間，只好在主日天，專為他們開班講授宗教教義。

n.

1. A school, generally affiliated with a church or synagogue, that offers religious instruction for children on Sundays.
2. The teachers and pupils of such a school.

Roman Catholic churches and some Protestant churches operate Sunday Schools, though Catholics commonly refer to Sunday School as 'Catechism class'. Sunday Schools, contrary to the name, are virtually never recognized educational institutions; rather than offering formal grades or transcripts, Sunday Schools simply attempt to offer meaningful instruction concerning Christian doctrine and keep little or no record of performance for any given week. Attendance is often tracked as a means of encouraging children to appear regularly (awards are frequently given for reaching attendance milestones).

catechism：教理問答；要理問答；教理書：以問答形式講解天主教倫理和教義之手冊，一般是為了培育準備領洗、領堅振、領聖體者，始於十六世紀。梵二後，中國主教團先後出版了《天主教的信仰》、《天主教信仰問答》、《天主教教理》。

Catechism of the Catholic Church：天主教教理：一九九二年公佈，共 2865條，內容分信條、聖事、十誡、祈禱四部份。
