celebrate Catechetical
Sunday on September 17.
The 2017 theme is "Living as
Missionary Disciples."
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.
We thank all our catechists, teachers, and
parents who pass on the Catholic faith by word
and example.
