St. Maria Goretti Parish Celebrates Catechetical Sunday

Father Tony Luongo bestowed a special blessing on the parish's catechists.

This year, the Catholic Church celebrated Catechetical Sunday on Sept. 17. Father Tony Luongo, Parochial Vicar at St. Maria Goretti Parish, bestowed a special blessing on the parish's catechists as they begin a new year of faith formation and education.

Catechetical Sunday is the perfect time for parishioners to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith to the next generation and serving as witnesses to the Gospel for the entire world.
