September 16, 2012: Catechetical Sunday


"Catechists and Teachers as Agents of the New Evangelization"−2012 Theme
This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 16, 2012, and will focus on the theme "Catechists and Teachers as Agents of the New Evangelization." Those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is 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. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
