Today, as the Philippine Church celebrates National Catechetical Sunday on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, we honor and thank our catechists for their tireless and selfless service in the mission of evangelization.

Just as the Cross stands as a sign of Christโ€™s ultimate sacrifice and love, our catechists embody this same spirit of dedication as they bring the light of faith to our parishes, families, and communities. Their mission goes beyond teaching; it is about forming hearts, guiding souls, and witnessing to Christโ€™s love amidst the challenges of life.

May they continue to be ambassadors of hope, proclaimers of the Good News, and instruments of Godโ€™s transforming love, so that every child, every family, and every parish may grow deeper in faith and closer to Christ, who is our life and salvation.

Ikaw na Katekista! Mabuhay ka!

This month, we join as one family of faith in celebrating the National Catechetical Month 2025 with the theme: โ€˜Ambassadors of Hope: Witnessing Faith, Inspiring Love, and Transforming Lives in the Changing World.โ€™

This celebration reminds us that we are all called to be living witnesses of the Gospel, bringing light in darkness, hope in despair, and love in indifference.

In a world that constantly changes, our mission as catechists, pastoral workers, and lay faithful remains the same: to lead others closer to Christ through the way we live, speak, and serve.

As part of this celebration, we share with you the inspiring life story of a couple whose journey as catechists reflects this mission of hope, love, and faith in action.
