Much of what we learn about our faith is wrapped within the calendar. We can learn much of our catechism by paying attention to specific religious and secular dates on the calendar and the liturgy and prayers that surround them.
Below are June's opportunities for catechesis and witness: Attend an event or connect a Work of Mercy with a special day in our faith and lives.
Sunday June 3:Human Trafficking Silent Prayer Vigil Why You Want to Attend: "[T]rade in people" is a vile activity, a disgrace to our societies that claim to be civilized! Exploiters and clients at all levels should make a serious examination of conscience both in the first person and before God!" (Pope Francis)
Why You Want to Participate: "Religious freedom certainly means the right to worship God, individually and in community, as our consciences dictate. But religious liberty, by its nature, transcends places of worship and the private sphere of individuals and families. Because religion itself, the religious dimension, is not a subculture; it is part of the culture of every people and every nation." (Pope Francis)
