Our parish and school catechists will be invited to stand for a special bless- ing and commissioning. They will also be Ms. Carole Obrokta asked to come forward to receive their 2017-2018 catechist pin and prayer journal. Why do we celebrate Catechetical Sunday? In 1935, the Vatican published "On the Better Care and Promotion of Catechetical Formation," a document that asks every country in the world to acknowledge the importance of the Church's teaching ministry and to honor those who serve the Catholic community as catechists. The word "catechetical" is unfamiliar to most people. What does it mean? The word might be more familiar than you think. Catholics have used the word "catechism" for years, and they know it has something to do with the compendium of the Church's teachings. The root word, "catechesis" is from a Greek word meaning "to echo, or resound." Catechesis is the act of resounding or bringing the Church's Teachings to the world. A catechist is one who teaches in the name of the Church. Why do we have a special day set aside to commission catechists? Catechesis is a distinct and special ministry in the Church. As the Catechism of the makes clear, "Catechesis is intimately bound up with the whole of the Church's life . . . "(CCC #7). This ministry of teaching in the name of the Church has a profound dignity, which is why cate- chists are formally commissioned by the Church. It is only fitting that we set aside a day to highlight this ministry and invite the entire church community to think about our responsi- bility to share our faith with others. Let us pray for our catechists!
