Year of Faith

Pope Benedict has proclaimed October 11, 2012- November 24, 2013 the Church’s Year of Faith in his Apostolic Letter, Porta Fidei.  The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has prepared its Note with pastoral recommendations for the Year of Faith which provides concrete guidance on how the universal Church can fruitfuly celebrate this year.

October 11, 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of publication for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. October will also see bishops from around the world convening for their General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops convoked by the Holy Father,  to discuss the synod’s theme, “The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith.”
