The theme will be Stay With Us. Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth at the Mass he/she is attending to be commissioned for their ministry. 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. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. Parents who, in the domestic home, are the primary teachers of the faith to their children need recognition and prayers as well.

Children between the ages of 4 and 8 will be called forward during the Mass to be dismissed with the CLOW leaders to another room to hear the Gospel readings at their level of understanding and return to their parents after the Intercessions. This program is offered at the 10:30 Mass on most Sundays during the school year.
