My Dear Parishioners,
The Church has designated this Sunday, September 20, as Catechetical Sunday. This is a day when we recognize and appreciate those who teach the young people in our parish community about their Catholic faith.
During Mass we will recognize the importance of faith formation as we commission our catechists for the Religious Education and Confirmation Programs.
Catechetical Sunday is also a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the Faith and being a witness to the Gospel.
All of us learned about the Catholic faith from someone at someplace, at some stage of our lives. The first place is possibly mom and dad. Some of us then headed off to Catholic schools and some of us to CCD classes where we learned more about God from the sisters, priests, brothers and lay teachers. We began to learn the mysteries of our faith and we began to understand what makes us Catholic Christians.
We deeply appreciate those who laid the foundation of our faith, and we offer our heartfelt thanks to today’s religious education teachers who lovingly nurture that same faith in our children.
Please join us this Sunday at the 9:30 am Mass to celebrate our wonderful Religious Education Teachers!
