This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 17, 2023, under the theme of “Say the Word and My Soul Shall Be Healed.” On this day, catechists are formally commissioned for ministry to the community.
The third Sunday of September is Catechist Sunday and it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each baptized person plays 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.
Help us recognize the Church’s teaching ministry, honor those who serve the Christian community as catechists, and remind us all to rededicate ourselves to the mission of handing on our faith and being a witness to the Gospel.
