Today is Catechetical Sunday. The 2018 theme is: “Enlisting Witnesses for Jesus Christ.” Those who the Community has designated to serve as ENLISTING catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful WITNESSES opportunity to reflect on the role that each person FOR plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical JESUS Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate CHRIST themselves to this mission as a community of faith. Prayer for Our Catechists
