Department of Lifelong Faith Formation

Greetings!

The mission of the Church is to evangelize and catechize. Parish leaders who understand their vocation to this mission know that all that is done in Jesus' name helps to fulfill this mission. The celebration of the Eucharist holds a special gift for us as we each enter into the Paschal Mystery over and over again. As we live out each Liturgical season, this is played out in new and ever mystifying ways. May we all be blessed during this Easter season to know that 'what' we do in Memory of our Lord, is as important as 'why' we do what we do.

Easter Blessings upon all parish leaders of catechesis!
