The ministry of catechesis is especially highlighted at the annual Faith Formation Celebration, which coincides with Catechetical Sunday. The celebration began on Friday evening, September 22nd with Liturgy presided by Archbishop Kurtz at the beautiful, newly remodeled St. Lawrence Church. Those who completed significant faith formation endeavors were recognized and congratulated for their success and dedication to their faith formation. A festive reception followed after the ceremony which allowed participants to share stories and laughter about their experiences in faith formation.
