Catechetical Sunday will be celebrated during the weekend of September 16 this year. The theme will be Catechists and Teachers as Agents of the New Evangelization.



“Before Catholics can go out and evangelize, they must be evangelized,” said Bishop David Ricken of Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Chairman of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis for the U.S. Catholic Bishops. “We celebrate catechists because . . . . they have a crucial role in the New Evangelization.”


New Evangelization


The New Evangelization is the effort to rekindle the faith in Catholics whether practicing or not.

It is a major focus of the Year of Faith, declared by Pope Benedict XVI to begin on October 11, 2012 and to conclude on November 24, 2013.
