  • A Day for Catechists
    November 2013 A day for Catechists “Let us ask the Lord that we may all be men and women who keep the memory of God alive in ourselves, and are able to awaken it in the hearts of others.” Pope Francis – Vatican City, Concluding Mass of the World Day of Catechists, September 30, 2013 Catechists from across the Diocese of Pembroke recently gathered to not only celebrate their faith, but to learn and share with each other the common path they have taken to bring others closer to God. “This is an event for catechists to gather that the diocese is sponsoring,” explains Jason Dedo, Director of Faith Formation and Leadership Development. “It’s more of a formation day. It’s for their own reflection; to hear about some topics that would be of consequence to them working in their ministry. It’s a day for parish catechists who are working in areas of The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, working in a Family Formation program, or working with the Sacramental Initiation process for children who are preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation or the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There’s a healthy mixture of new catechists, some who have been involved for a little bit, and some who are quite seasoned.” Throughout the day, participants had an opportunity to listen to guest speakers, including Bishop Michael Mulhall. As well, catechists had an opportunity to meet and interact with their fellow catechists from a variety of parishes. More than 50 participants from across the diocese attended a catechists’ day at “In some ways, catechists in parishes may feel like they’re working in isolation,” Most Holy Name of Jesus in Pembroke.

Far from being overwhelmed by this momentous occasion, tranquility prevailed for recently ordained priest, Father Peter Than Do. “On the day of my ordination, I was not feeling anxious or nervous, I was feeling at peace, seeing almost a decade of study and formation coming to fruition,” said Father Do. He was ordained into the ranks of the priesthood on June 18 at St. Columbkille Cathedral in Pembroke. Family, friends, priests, and other well-wishers from the diocese gathered in support of Father Do as the Most Reverend Michael Mulhall, Bishop of the Diocese of Pembroke, presided over the ceremony. Father Do attended St. Philip’s Seminary in Toronto where he studied philosophy. From there, he ventured to Rome to study theology for five more years. “During my first three years in Rome, I was earning my STB, a bachelor’s degree in sacred theology,” said Father Do. “It was a great privilege to be studying in Rome, the heart of the universal church.
