As we prepare to begin a new program year, the Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday with the theme: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened” (Matthew 11:28). This year’s theme reminds us of the invitation we receive from Jesus to follow him. He promises that he doesn’t want to add to our burdens; he wants to lighten them.
Posters, prayer cards, certificates, and a commissioning service can be downloaded here. Find an article, “Lay Down Your Burdens,” written on this year’s theme by Professor Michael Howard, MACS, of Loyola Marymount University here. Find Bayard resources to support and thank catechists and religion teachers in Catholic schools here, here, and here.
Please share this Sunday’s Family Corner activities and prayer with families to help them keep reflecting on the Sunday Gospel.
