Introduction

Reading a rather dated Catholic weekly I learned that 10 million Catholics have left the faith, and that one of three from a Catholic background have left the Church. Although the article indicated there were many reasons for this exodus, it cited poor catechesis as a main factor. In my parish ministries I have found it to be true. As a general statement Catholics don't know their faith.

We have just passed through the Year of Faith. We were asked to learn our faith, to live out faith and to share our faith. There are also the efforts of the new evangelization. So I have asked myself: What can I do?

So the thought I had was to start this blog with the main emphasis being on catechesis. I envision posting once a week. Hopefully there will be some logic to my entries though I do not plan a systematic approach. From time to time I will make entries that interest me or come to mind.

Of course anyone can go to the Catechism and read it, but I hope this blog will be less formal and will have photos and I hope interesting to its readers.

This is also an opportunity for me to get to know my faith more, for I will need to brush up or learn to various topics I present.

Your feedback is most welcome.
