On the occasion of Catechetical Sunday, I wish to commend and encourage all those in the Pittsburgh Diocese who share in the ministry of teaching the Word of God. Recognize the good work you are doing, and never be discouraged by the difficulties you encounter. Remember that only Almighty God can see and reward the fruit of your ft labors. 1 also wish to encourage all the faithful of the diocese to participate in the many and varied catechetical programs that are offered. These programs are valuable because our journey with the Lord is a lifetime process and our knowledge and understanding of God I WHIT'S is never complete. Finally, I offer my prayers that God will bless the catechetical ministry in the Diocese ¿ND SUP(D WT of Pittsburgh. 1 do so with the conviction that without the Lord we can do nothing, but 0NU AFFECTS that with Him, all things are possible. #XJD5!

Faithfully in Christ,
