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 prayer cards, beautifully designed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
