Celebrating the Year of Faith

Our Holy Father the Pope has announced that the period from October 2012 to November 2013 will be celebrated as the Year of Faith. The Year will begin on 11 October 2012 – the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council - and conclude on 24 November 2013, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King, ie the feast of Christ the King. The start date of 11 October 2012 also marks the twentieth anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

One of the key emphases of the Year of Faith is to come to know better and deepen our understanding of our greatest treasure. Everyone is invited to participate in this Year of celebration and mission, mindful that faith is not meant to be private, but professed and shared. Please do support it and get involved as you can.
