​Catechetical Theme for 2021 - 2022​

Each year, the United States Bishops offer a theme fpr the catechetical year.  This year the theme is "Say But the Word and My Soul Shall Be Healed".  Coming directly from the Gospel account of one of Jesus' healing miracles, we are all in need of some type of healing as we journey through this time of the pandemic.  Let us pray for each other and the volunteer catechists who will be sharing their faith with you and your children.
