Catechetical Sunday
Domingo catequético
Catechetical Sunday Sept. 15, 2019
This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2019.
The 2019 theme will be "Stay with Us." Those who the Church Community has
designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their
ministry.
As a catechist, you are responding to a call to share the gift of faith with others,
even as you deepen your own faith. This call may have reached you through your
pastor, the director of your parish’s religious education program, or through your
role as a Catholic school teacher. But know that this calling ultimately comes from
God whose Holy Spirit inspires and guides you.
Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each
person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to
the Gospel. It is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a
community of faith.
Domingo catequético 15 de septiembre de 2019
Este año, la Iglesia celebrará el do-
mingo de catequesis el 15 de sep-
tiembre de 2019. El tema de 2019
será "Quédate con nosotros".
Aquellos a quienes la Comunidad de la Iglesia ha designado para servir como cate-
quistas serán llamados a ser comisionados para su ministerio.
Como catequista, está respondiendo a un llamado para compartir el don de la fe
con los demás, incluso mientras profundiza su propia fe. Es posible que este llama-
do lo haya contactado a través de su pastor, el director del programa de educación
religiosa de su parroquia, o a través de su papel como maestro de escuela católica.
Pero sepa que este llamado finalmente proviene de Dios cuyo Espíritu Santo lo
inspira y lo guía.
El Domingo Catequético es una maravillosa oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el
papel que desempeña cada persona, en virtud del
Bautismo, al transmitir la fe y ser testigo del Evan-
gelio. Es una oportunidad para que todos se vuel-
van a dedicar a esta misión como comunidad de
fe.
