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, we will celebrate the entire weekend starting on Saturday September 17th. All those who serve as catechists, teachers, youth ministers will be called forth for a special blessing at the 5 pm Mass. In addition, we will include a "Back to School Blessing" for children/families, honoring the fact that parents are the first catechists.
