Calling all young catechists! It’s your time to shine!
Starting with the August-September 2012 issue of Word & Life, we will be featuring young catechists who are doing their part to share our Catholic faith.
To jumpstart the Year of Faith, which will start on October 11, 2012, we will be putting the spotlight on catechists (ages 13-30) who can serve as inspiring examples to the young, as well as to the old.
As soon-to-be-canonized youth catechist Pedro Calungsod has shown, even ordinary lay people can and should spread the Word of God and teach the truths of our faith. He left his home to help missionaries make Jesus known to a pagan people in a foreign land. At the time of his martyrdom in Guam, Calungsod was probably only 17 years old.
