This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2019. The 2019 theme will be "Stay with Us." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth 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.

• Education of children includes formation in knowledge and practice of their faith, including participation in Sunday Mass and frequent confession, and a life of virtue in accordance with the teachings of the Church

• Christian parents/guardians are the primary but not the exclusive educators of their children. They carry out their role in communion with the Church and her pastors, who have a responsibility to ensure that the education offered to the young is in accordance with Church teaching.

• Parents/guardians are assisted by their pastors, from the spiritual riches of the Church, to receive ongoing Christian formation and to choose the means and institutes which can best promote the Catholic education of their children.

• Under the direction of the pastor, Catholic schools, religious education programs, and youth ministry programs should provide assistance as catechetical partners with parents or guardians.
