This year, we celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15th. To fulfill the Church’s evangelizing mission, the cooperation of a great many people is needed, so that we all may advance to full maturity in faith and continually show forth that faith through the celebration of the Mass, study and our manner of life.
This cooperation is provided by those who devote themselves to catechesis. Enlightened by God’s Word and the teaching of the Church, catechists impart to others an initial or deeper formation in those realities that they themselves have learned as truths to be followed in living, and to be celebrated at Mass.
We praise and thank the Lord for giving us such co-workers and pray that through the Holy Spirit they will receive the grace they need in their service to the Church. These co-workers exercise their ministry in many areas: family faith formation, children’s liturgy of the Word, young adult group, various adult formation opportunities, and the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.

Prayer for Catechists
Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists. We thank you for their gift of ministry in your Church.
Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the understanding and teaching of your Word. Grant them also your love that they may be fruitful heralds of your Word and lead others to love you.
Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them wisdom about what is important; knowledge of the truths of faith; understanding of their meaning; right judgement about how to apply them in life; courage to persevere even in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred and holy; and that loving zeal which leads others to a transforming encounter with your Son.
We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
