Year of Faith

We just passed the halfway mark of this momentous Year of Faith. We have an opportunity to reflect on how well we are growing in our faith and the knowledge of Christ. Do we know more about the documents from the Second Vatican Council? Are we more familiar with the Catechism of the Catholic Church? Have we invited absent friends and family members to come back to the church? Has our prayer life improved? Are we reading sacred Scripture more? The good news is there are still six months left until the Year of Faith concludes on Nov. 24. At this halfway mark, consider rereading Porta Fidei and prayerfully reflect on its content, message and challenge. There is time to assess how well we are doing to improve the way we live our Catholic faith and time to take the steps necessary to become better witnesses of our faith for others.

The Annus Fidei site provides information and material which relates to the Year of Faith announced by Pope Benedict XVI for the universal Church.

Please visit the site often to learn more about the events planned by the Vatican. You can also read more on our Year of Faith page.
