BIBLE QUIZ CORE TEAM

The diocesan quiz program will be led by a team designated by and under the guidance of Eparchial Catechetical Council. This team will closely work with Regional level or Forane level leaders, vicars and CCD principals to co-ordinate all activities and communications for the success of this program. Few key responsibilities of this team are: question preparation, regional level written test evaluation, onstage judgement, onstage quiz master role, communication, preparation of rules and guidance, administrative functions, and budget.
