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.

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!
