Catechetical Sunday will be celebrated this Sunday, Sept. 17, a day to reflect on the vital role of catechists — those who teach the faith in the name of the Church.
As they are commissioned for their ministry, all the faithful are reminded of our common vocation, by virtue of baptism, to know and live the faith and to bear witness to the Gospel. This package of resources by Catholic News Service shows how each of us can share Christ’s love with everyone.
