Catechetical Sunday 2024 Theme and Image
"Lord, when did we see you hungry"
"Senor, ¿Cuando te vimos hambriento? "
Matthew 25:37/Mateo 25;37
Accompanying the 2024 theme, this icon of Servant of God Dorothy Day has been chosen by the Committee for Evangelization & Catechesis. Use of this icon has been generously granted to us by its iconographer Kelly Latimore. The image is currently being prepared with our theme, date, and USCCB logos. The posters, prayers cards, and certificates will be available for download or purchase at our store by the middle of May. Stay tuned!
"Invite One Back"
Invite One Back is an invitation for you to
identify which parishioners haven't returned to
your parish since the beginning of the COVID-
19 pandemic and to invite them back to Mass.
This invitation is all about outreach-sharing what we have received and allowing ourselves
to act as vessels for God's love and mercy.
