Catechetical Sunday 2020 Sunday, September 20, 2020
This theme is I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you. Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sun-day is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in hand-ing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededi-cate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
