This year the Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday on Sept. 17.
The 2017 theme is “Living as Missionary Disciples.” Those who the parish community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry.
Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of their baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for everyone to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. Below are stories of parishes that are trying new catechetical approaches for youth and adults.
