DeMatha Catholic High School, Hyattsville, MD
8:30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.
Pope Francis has called for 2025 to be a Jubilee Year of Hope. The jubilee year provides an opportunity for all involved in catechetical ministry to consider how we offer the gift of hope to those we serve. To help you reflect this call, we urge you to attend Catechetical Day 2024. The Most Reverend Juan Esposito, Moderator of the Curia and Vicar General, will offer a keynote address and celebrate Mass in the morning. In the afternoon, participants will choose from a variety of workshops – in English or Spanish – to apply the lens of hope in a variety of catechetical settings.
To register, contact your parish Catechetical leader.
We encourage all attendees to register through your parish catechetical leader prior to CD2024. However, for those who do not pre-register, there will be a register and pay-at-the-door option. The $20 registration fee may be paid in cash or check. To ensure that there are enough lunches for all attendees, preregistration is strongly recommended.
