Recognize your catechists’ faithful service this Catechetical Sunday.

Recognize these individuals in your parish this Catechetical Sunday with the 2026 Catechetical Sunday materials

As Christians, we’re all called to live in service of God and others. Catechists live out this mission in a unique way, educating, mentoring, and assisting their parishes with generosity and selflessness.

Following Christ’s example, these catechists live out this year’s theme: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to bring good news to the poor” (Lk 4:18). As Christ illuminated our minds and hearts while he was on Earth, he continues to bring light and love to the world through the faithful, speaking, acting, and working through them.

Commend the role catechists have played in your parish with these thoughtful English certificates, beautifully designed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

This year’s Catechetical Sunday is September 20th—celebrate this special day in your parish with the 2026 Catechetical Sunday materials!

Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis of the USCCB

Author

The committee assists the bishops, both collectively and individually, in fulfilling their role as evangelizers and chief catechists in their dioceses by addressing all aspects of evangelization and catechesis for adults, youth, and children. This includes fostering the distribution and implementation of foundational documents related to evangelization and catechesis, the development of guidelines for both, and especially the evaluation of catechetical materials for their conformity to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The committee supports initiatives which focus on the Church's world mission mandate and on stewardship.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) promotes the mission of the Catholic Church in the United States by supporting pastoral initiatives, ministries, and apostolic programs that serve the needs of the faithful in a changing world. In 2024, the USCCB approved a new English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours for use in the United States, marking a significant step in the ongoing renewal of the Church's public prayer. Through collaboration with Ascension, these liturgical and spiritual resources are made more widely accessible.
