Dear Sister and Brothers in Christ: Today, throughout the Catholic Church, we celebrate Catechetical Sunday with the theme of “I re-ceived from the Lord what I also handed on to you”.
This is a special observance in each parish as we pray for and ask God’s blessings upon all those who share in the important work of catechesis and Christian formation. Those who share in this ministry are our catechists in the Parish School of Religion, the administrators and teachers in our Catholic Schools, youth ministers and those who are involved in the ministry of RCIA. Please join me in thank-ing them for not only giving of themselves in a generous way to provide religious education and for-mation for your youth and adults, but also pray that God will continue to bless them and inspire them in their ministry. They give of themselves in a generous way to help other open their hearts to Christ. Furthermore, their example of faith is one that can be a source of inspiration to us.
Join me in praying for students, parents and families on this Catechetical Sunday. We are reminded that parents are the primary teachers of their children in faith and we pray for them that they will joy-fully fulfill this vocation. I invite parents involved to continue this involvement in the education and Christian formation of their children. Parents, they need you, your support, and they need your exam-ple of living out your faith. You are a powerful witness to your child.
Please know of my deep appreciation and prayer of thanksgiving to all of you who shar in this im-portant ministry of catechesis and Christian formation.
Wishing you God’s blessings, and with the assurance of my prayers, I am
Gratefully in Christ,
Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop of New Orleans

Queridos hermanas y hermanos en Cristo:
Hoy, en toda la Iglesia Católica, celebramos el domingo de Catequesis con el tema de “Recibí del Señor lo que también le entregué”. Esta es una celebración especial en cada parroquia mientras oramos y pedimos las bendiciones de Dios sobre todos aquellos que comparten la importante labor de la catequesis y la formación Cristriana. Aquellos quienes comparten éste ministerio son nuestros catequistas en la Escuela Parroquial de Religión, los administradores y maestros en nuestras Escuelas Católicas, los ministros de jóvenes y aquellos que están involucrados en el ministerios de RICA. Por favor únase a mí para agradecerles no solo por entregarse de manera generosa para brindar educación y formación religiosa a nuesros jóvenes y adultos, sino también orar para que Dios continue bendiciéndolos e inspirándolos en su ministerio. Ellos se entregan de una manera generosa para ayudar a otros a abrir su corazón a Cristo. Además, su ejemplo de fe puede ser una Fuente de inspiración para nosotros.
Únase a mí oración por los estudiantes, los padres y las familias en éste domingo de Catequesis. Se nos recuerda que los padres son los principales maestros de sus hijos en la fe y oramos por ellos para que cumplan con alegría esta vocación. Invito a los padres involucrados a continuar participando en la educación y formación Cristiana de sus hijos. Padres, necesitan de ustedes, de su apoyo y necesitan su ejemplo de vivir su fe. Eres un testigo poderoso para tu hijo.
Por favor, sepan de mi profundo aprecio y oración de acción de gracias a todos ustedes que comparten éste importante ministerio de catequesis y formación Cristiana.
Deseándoles las bendiciones de Dios y con la seguridad de mis oraciones,
Con gratitud en Cristo,
Reverendísimo Gregory M. Aymond Arzobispo de Nueva Orleans

BEGINNING AGAIN Today’s readings provide sweet refreshment to all of us
who know the bitterness of discouragement. No matter how stubbornly we determine to improve ourselves, the human condition often leaves us in puddles of failure and regret.
Jesus has a new plan for us. Today’s Gospel parable demonstrates the mercy of God, mercy that rejoices in
fresh beginnings. We take comfort in knowing that God accompanies us in our labors—and works for us—whether
we struggle with caring for our bodies, striving for pa-tience, avoiding gossip, making time for prayer, being gen-
erous, overcoming addiction, remaining in recovery, or simply attending to our daily work. Jesus shows us that he
actively engages with us each time we fall short. From dawn to dusk, the Lord seeks us out, calling us to join him
in the vineyard. Now, today, right this moment, is our dawn. Or our nine o’clock. Or noon? Ignore the clock! Je-
sus invites us to forget past failures; divine mercy wipes them away. Today’s psalm insists that the “Lord is near to
all who call upon him.” In hope, then, we begin again.
AN UNEXPECTED LESSON Jesus’ parable depicts workers who “punch the clock” at various times throughout the long day: dawn, nine, noon, three, and five o’clock. Regardless of when they
began working in the vineyard, the laborers all re-ceive the same reward. The reward seems lavish to the
latecomers, of course, and shockingly unfair to the long-faithful workers. The landowner soothes his
most dutiful laborers, however, delighting in them as friends and transforming their bitter confrontation into a reflection on generosity. The laborers who ar-rived at five o’clock might have been late to the job,
but those who began at the crack of dawn were last to understand the extravagant bounty of the landowner. Seen in this way, the parable discusses not only God’s generosity toward “unworthy” believers, but also the
Lord’s inexhaustible patience toward those who thought they had nothing more to learn.
