Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI declared a “Year of Faith” which will begin on October 11, 2012 which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the opening day of the Second Vatican Council and the 20th anniversary of the day the Catechism of the Catholic Church was promulgated.
Pope Benedict XVI has asked Catholics to spend this year studying, professing and demonstrating their faith. This year, he hopes, will provide a “new impetus to the mission of the whole Church to lead men out of the desert in which they often find themselves, to the place of life, of friendship with Christ.” He's asked us to study the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Starting October 11th, "Catholic Moms Talk" will delve into the Catechism of the Catholic Church and talk about the faith and the family. You'll see our list of Catholic Mom contributors grow along the left hand side of the page as this project unfolds. By clicking on the contributor's photo you'll be directed to their personal website or ministry.

ReplyDeleteFor some of us, this is the only source of inspiration and encouragement we will have this Year of Faith.
Our Holy Father has asked us to pay special attention to praying the Rosary this Year of Faith as he has entrusted the year to the Mother of the Church! Great things will happen. Of this I have absolutely no doubt!!
