Getting ready for “Year of Faith”

One year ago, Pope Benedict XVI decreed that October 11, 2012 will begin the “Year of Faith” throughout the Catholic Church. During this year, Catholics are called to deepen and enrich their faith lives. There will be a renewed effort to help each of us turn back to Jesus and deepen our relationship with Him. This “year” will last until November 24, 2013. You can read more about it here at the USCCB site.

October 11 marks the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and is also the 20th anniversary of the release of the “Catechism of the Catholic Church”. Because of this, many people will be using the Catechism for study and deepening of the faith.

I will be undertaking the task of reading the entire Catechism over the entire year. In fact, it should be fairly simple because flocknote.com will send me a daily email with a bit of the Catechism for me to read. With the daily email, I will complete the entire Catechism over the year.

If you’d like to join me (and many thousands more that are already signed up), you can do so by entering your email address in the box below and click on “subscribe”. You will receive a confirmation email from flocknote.com and then, beginning October 11, you can starting reading along with me.
