Sunday is Catechetical Sunday. Parents and students in the Parish School of Religion are asked to join their teachers at the 9 a.m. Mass and greet teachers in the Parish Activity Center after Mass. The opening session of PSR classes will be Sunday, September 26. Familes of both PSR and day school are asked to attend the 9:30 a.m. Mass and PSR students will then proceed to their classrooms.
Here's the prayer that will be used Sunday:
A Prayer for Catechists
O God our Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of these catechists to be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family.
We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their hopes and needs.
My we be attentive to the presence of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is compassionate and consoles.
We pray that our parish family will always be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ's prophetic mission as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to the communion of faith, the Church.
We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen
