JUBILEE FOR CATECHISTS “Announcing the Mercy of God” Sun., Sept. 25: On September 25, 2016, within the
context of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis will celebrate with catechists around the world the Jubilee for
Catechists. The National Office for Evangelization and Catechesis has prepared an online resource The Jubilee
for Catechists: Announcing the Mercy of God, for use in parishes. The materials can be accessed on their website
http://www.cccb.ca/site/eng/office-for-evangelization-andcatechesis/4482-jubilee-for-catechists. As members of the
Diocese of Charlottetown and the universal Church, let us join together in prayer and thanksgiving as we prepare to
celebrate all catechists – past, present and future! “Who are catechists? They are people who keep the memory of God alive; they keep it alive in themselves and they are able to revive it in others.” (Homily of Holy Father, Pope Francis, Sept. 29, 2013)
