Catechetical Sunday / Domingo de Catequesis
Sunday, September 19 / Domingo 19 de septiembre
Theme is “Say the Word and My Soul Shall be Healed”. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as community of faith.
Tema es “Una Palabra Tuya Bastara para Sanarme”. Domingo de Catequesis es una magnifica oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el papel que cada persona juega, en virtud del Bautismo, en la transmisión de la fe y en el testimonio del Evangelio. El Domingo de Catequesis es una oportunidad para que todos se vuelvan a dedicar a esta misión como comunidad de fe.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FOR OUR DAUGHTERS!
Informed parents = protected daughters! The Parental Notice of Abortion Act is a proven, commonsense law that protects our minor daughters from medical injury and sexual exploitation, and keeps parents informed about their minor daughter’s wellbeing. Two identical bills have been introduced in the Illinois General Assembly to repeal this law – one in the Illinois House (HB 1797) and one in the Illinois Senate (SB 2190). Please contact your State legislators to save this law from being repealed and to keep parents in the loop! Act now! There is a strong possibility supporters of this bill will wait until the last days of this session, Memorial Day Weekend, to call it to committee and for a vote. Visit the Parents for Protection of Girls website at www.savepna.com. to contact your legislators in Springfield, and click on their “Contact your State Rep and Senator” button. It takes less than 5 minutes to contact both your IL State Senator and your IL State Representative.
