This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 19, 2021. The 2021 theme will be "Say the Word and My Soul Shall Be Healed." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned 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. If you are a catechist - parent, coach, teacher, youth ministry leader, chaperone, volunteer - thank you for sharing your gifts.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend's Social Sunday a success! Join us again on October 2nd and 3rd!
