Catechetical Sunday -- Materials available from the NCCL
The NCCL's 2014 catechetical pin expresses several paths of God’s forgiveness, the most powerful of which is the cross. The word "Ephphatha", meaning, “be opened,” which is embossed on the pin. "Ephphatha" is heard in the final rite of the Elect before their initiation as their eyes and ears are blessed to hear and profess the Word of God. The white area surrounding the cross, on the pin, suggests not only a victory wreath of forgiveness, but also healing that unbinds us and sets us free. “ ‘Ephphatha – Be opened,’ sums up Christ’s entire mission.” Pope Benedict XVI, September 9, 2012. (The pin is 1" in diameter.)
The NCCL’s 2014 journal for reflection is a great gift for
all parishioners, especially those who share in the RCIA and adult formation,
catechists, parents preparing their children for sacraments, and all those who
desire to think more deeply about their faith. This resource offers meditations
for Sundays, Holy Days, and liturgical seasons, as well as questions to
consider, lines to write contemplations, and ideas to act on your
faith. This year’s reflection journal is a Special
Memorial Issue remembering Lee Nagel.
Posters, Certificates, Catechist Prayer Cards, and Family
Commitment Cards
These are also available from the NCCL. Help your catechists and parents to reflect on their roles, by virtue of their Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel.
