Catechetical Sunday

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. This year, the Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2024, and the Theme is: “Lord, when did we see you hungry.” Those who the Parish community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry.

Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. So today, as we celebrate the 89th anniversary of the Vatican’s mandate to celebrate the catechetical ministry, we ask the Lord’s blessing upon all of us, but most especially upon those who have acknowledged and accepted their Baptismal privilege to catechize and proclaim the Word of God through the ministry of catechesis.

Please keep our Sacred Heart Religious Education Catechists in your prayers:
