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 March’s opportunities for catechesis and witness: Attend an event or connect a Work of Mercy with a special day in our faith and lives.
Why You Want to Attend: Creating a world where immigrants, refugees, migrants, and people on the move are treated with dignity, respect, welcome and belonging. (Migration and Refugee Services Vision Statement)
Does your area have one? In Portland, find a Walk on the East Side or the West Side.
Gather to walk the stations of our cross through the city to pray and share the stories of the pressures and injustice we experience, as well as witness to Christ's power for transformation and resurrection present in our communities.
Why You Want to Attend: “The principal obstacles to the transmission of the faith are the same everywhere and arise from within the Church and the Christian life, namely, a faith which is lived in a private and passive manner… and a separation of faith from life" (Synod of Bishops, The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith)”
