Under the auspices of the Religious Education Department, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) is inaugurating a Parish Religious Education Week in November to highlight the important role played by parish-based religious education and faith-formation programs across the country. This year’s observance is Nov. 3 to 9, and the plan is to observe the week annually on the first full week in November.
The week will complement the observance of Catechetical Sunday. It also will build on the current celebrations of dioceses and regions across the country, providing a national focus on the important role parishes serve in educating and forming people in the Catholic faith.

According to Lori Dahlhoff, director of the Religious Education Department, Parish Religious Education Week will honor all those serving in parish religious education and help strengthen interconnections between Catholic parish and school education programs. "It will help educate folks about what is happening in parish religious education and why it's important,” Dahlhoff said.
More than two-thirds of Catholic children and youth in the United States, along with adults, receive formal religious education in more than 17,000 parishes.
This year’s theme is “Encountering Christ Every Day/Encuentro con Cristo cada dia.”
Resource materials will be available to underscore the significant place of the parish in catechesis and to highlight diverse models for parish-based programs. The materials will also offer suggestions for honoring partners in parish religious education and life-long faith formation, especially for Parish Catechetical Leader Appreciation Day, Nov. 6.
Thank you to our Parish Catechetical Leaders!
