the Old Testament beginning September 9th. It will be for five

Each Friday at 3:00 PM, Fr. Steve will be doing a bible study

focusing on the upcoming Sunday readings. This will include

the background and setting of the readings from the Old

Testament, New Testament, the responsorial psalm and the

Gospel reading. We will also focus on possible reasons why

these readings are chosen by the Church for this particular

Sunday, what scriptures precede and follow a given reading,

who the audience is and what the meaning might be for today’s

hearers. This will be live-streamed each Friday and can be

viewed later in the video archives on the website, Facebook or

YouTube. Please join Fr. Steve for this breaking open of the

Word of God.

Faith Formation

�

�

�

�

�

�

�

�

�

Catechetical Sunday (weekend) is celebrated this year on �

September 19/20. Observing Catechetical weekend is an �

opportunity for all Catholics to rededicate themselves to the �

mission of handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel

as a community of Faith. The day provides an opportunity to �

celebrate those who do the important work of handing on the faith,

and an opportunity for all of us Catholics to consider ways we are

witnesses for Jesus Christ ourselves. �

�

Each year, Catechetical Sunday has a unique theme. The 2020

Catechetical Sunday theme is rooted in Scripture. It stems from

Saint Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians: “I Received from the

Lord what I also Handed on to You.”�

�

This year’s theme is an invitation to focus on catechist formation.

Catechists hand on the faith in their communities and the world as

witnesses of Jesus Christ. Through their work, many encounter

Christ and hear and respond to his invitation to new life.�

�

Each person plays a role, by virtue of our Baptism in handing on

the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Parents are truly the

primary catechists of their children, They prepare the soil and

plant the first seeds of faith. On Catechetical Sunday, we not only

highlight the work of catechists in parishes and schools, but we

also commend parents and guardians and encourage them to take �

seriously their role of making their Catholic households a place

where faith is passed on to the next generation.�

�

Our parish would like to thank all of our catechists, aides, �

parents, grandparents, and guardians who dedicate their time by

sharing the Word of God through the word and example of your

faith. May you be strengthened to continue your growth through

prayer and reception of the Sacraments and assist in the growth of

the entire community of faith.�

SAINTS PETER & PAUL CATECHIST OF THE MONTH

Kathleen Fairbanks Mitchell was born and raised in Queens, NY. She attended Our Lady of Hope

Elementary school in Middle Village, St. John’s Prep in Astoria and Queens College where she

studied English and Political Science. She obtained level 1 Catechism Certification by the VLCFF

and is working on her level 2. Kathleen has a background in recruitment working in various

industries including finance and healthcare. She is currently working as a health care recruiter for

the Mount Sinai Healthcare System assisting them with their staffing needs.

Kathleen has been teaching catechesis at Saints Peter Paul since 2010 and has taught every grade

level including pre-school. She has also assisted with the Sacramental Prep classes and retreats

and was the Vacation Bible School Director for eight years. When asked what she loves most

about teaching Catechism she would say, “I have particularly enjoyed watching the shy pre-school

students grow up through VBS and turn into strong young adults, confident in their faith and their

abilities to lead and teach others.”

When not working with the children, Kathleen enjoys cooking, spending time with her husband Michael, and son William, and caring

for her Basenjis. She also recently joined the fundraising committee of the Greenwood Park Bells Lake Community Club and is start-

ing a Model UN Club this fall at Our Lady of Hope Regional School, where her son attends 6

th

grade.
