Fides Examen
Fides Examen (Examination of Faith) focuses on rewarding excellence in the Catholic Church. The project would be carried out in the Lokoja Catholic Diocese, focusing on quiz competitions about Catholic teachings and rituals. The quiz competition will feature the children category (Ages 7 to 11) Teens category (Ages 12 to 17), and the Adult category (Ages 18 to 50).
Interested participants would register online for free, provided they are associated with a catholic parish within the diocese. Study materials are provided on the website, where mock religious quizzes can also be taken by anyone at will. The competition has three phases, with participants getting eliminated along the way.
What makes Fides Examen unique is its audience involvement. People can vote on social media, adding to contestants' scores. Plus, there are monthly challenges for anyone to participate in and win prizes.
This project is about more than just winning. It aims to deepen people's understanding of their faith and promote healthy competition. By engaging the community, Fides Examen brings people closer to their religion and each other.
In the Catholic Church, this project could spark a positive change. It encourages learning and active participation, fostering a stronger connection between members. With its inclusive approach and focus on knowledge, Fides Examen could inspire a new generation of devout Catholics committed to the knowledge and understanding of their faith.
