T he Pastor’s Corner
My dear Parishioners,
Back in 1935, the Vatican asked Catholics throughout the
world to recognize the importance of teaching the Faith and
to honor those who do so as catechists. In 1971, the Church
in the United States formalized its commitment to Catechetical Education and established the third Sunday of September
as Catechetical Sunday. Today, we recognize the important
of teaching the faith and honor our volunteer catechists who
shoulder the responsibility of teaching the Faith in our community. While much of our attention is focused on those
catechists who teaching our children, we must not forget the
fact that the primary catechists of children are their parents
or guardians. Neither should be forget those Catechists who
work with our adults, instructing them in their responsibilities as parents and sponsors and facilitating our Bible Study
and Ongoing Adult Religious Education programs. Actually,
if we as Catholics take our vocation seriously, others should
see a bit of the Catechist in all of us.
The theme for this Catechetical Sunday is “Prayer: The Faith
Prayed.” It fits in beautifully with the Archdiocesan Pastoral
Plan since three of the four major aspects of that plan have to
do with Faith— Knowing the Faith, Living the Faith, and
Sharing the Faith. Prayer is the powerhouse for all three:
prayer stimulates us to want to know more about God and
the things of God; it sustains us as we struggle to live our
faith; and it inspires us to share our faith. Our union with
God in prayer assures us of his continuing presence in and
among us, the essential Stabilizer of our lives.
As we commission our Catechists today, each of us can and
should joyfully recommit ourselves to knowing, living and
sharing our faith, and taking advantage of numerous opportunities to do so.
—Fr. Jerome, C.P.

What is a Catechetical Sunday?
Catechetical Sunday is a special day when
catechists are recognized and honored. On
Catechetical Sunday, we can honor those
who have entered into the ministry of
sharing the Word of God.
Parents and guardians are also honored because they are the
true first catechists, sharing the Catholic faith with their
families from the moments of the first breaths of life.
Let us thank the Lord for such an extraordinary guidance we
have been receiving in our homes and at Saint Paul of the
Cross through our amazing Catechists!
