Sincere Condolences to:

Mrs. Billie Williams and family on the loss of her dearest mother, Pauline Pitts, who passed from this world on Tuesday, September 18th .

Also, To Mr. Arthur Frazier and family on the loss

of his beloved wife, Karen Frazier, who passed away on September 19th.

Let us keep both families in our prayers.

My dear Parishioners,

Today, St. Paul of the Cross Catholic Church is celebrating

Catechetical Sunday. During the ten o’clock Mass we will

commission our Catechists as well as those who assist them

in this extremely important work—the education of others,

especially the young— in the rudiments of the faith. The

theme of this year’s celebration is “Living as Missionary

Disciples,” a task not simply confined to our Catechetical

ministers, but one which can and should be undertaken by

all of us, especially parents and guardians. Unfortunately,

some Christians mistakenly think that only the ordained or

those specifically appointed are to catechize others. Not so.

All the baptized are called to be disciples of the Lord and to

be sent by him to carry on his mission in the world. No

matter what our status in life, we are all expected by the

Lord to grow in our knowledge and love of God throughout

our entire life but also to accept our baptismal commission

to share that knowledge and love with others. Instilling that

knowledge and kindling that love in children is primarily

the responsibility of parents and guardians. Catechists, cler-

gy and religious assist parents in this important roll but they

cannot take the place of parents who are steadily with their

youngsters. The Rite of Baptism for Children clearly points

this out when parents are instructed to bring their children

up in the faith and Godparents are asked if they are willing

to assist the parents in this most important endeavor.

So, today, as we observe Catechetical Sunday, let us remind

ourselves to encourage and support one another in our com-

mon vocation. As individuals and as community we are

called to witness to our faith by living as missionary disci-

ples. Let us recommit ourselves to bringing the “Good

News of Jesus Christ” to our children certainly, but also to

all who await that saving Word.

—Fr. Jerome, C.P.

Catechetical Sunday - Saint Paul of the Cross - October 24, 2017

Catechetical Sunday is a special day when catechists are recognized and honored for entering into the

ministry of sharing the Word of God. Parents and guardians are also honored because they are the true first catechists, sharing the Catholic faith with their families from the moment of the first

breaths of life. Let us thank the Lord for such extraordinary guidance that is given in our homes and at Saint Paul of the Cross through our amazing Catechists!

El Domingo Catequético es un día especial en donde los catequistas son reconocidos y honrados por

haber entrado al ministerio de compartir la Palabra de Dios. Los padres y tutores también son honrados, porque ellos son los verdaderos primeros catequistas que comparten la fe católica con sus familias desde el primer aliento de vida. Demos gracias al

Señor por la enseñanza y orientación que estamos recibiendo en nuestros hogares y en San Pablo de la Cruz a través de nuestros increíbles Catequistas.

You are invited to our Capital Campaign Prayer Vigil! On Fri-
