Year of Faith Resources
"Open the Door of Faith"
This series focuses on the theme "Open the Door of Faith." Those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to becommissioned for their ministry. 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.
