A Year of Faith at Saint Joseph
 With his Apostolic Letter, Porta Fidei (The Door of Faith), Pope Benedict XVI declared that a "Year of Faith" begin on October 11, 2012, and conclude on November 24, 2013. The first day of the Year of Faith is the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and also the twentieth anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study and reflect on the documents of Vatican II and the catechism so that they may deepen their knowledge of the faith.
The Year of Faith is a “summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world” (Porta Fidei 6). In other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion – to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him. The “door of faith” is opened at one’s baptism, but we are continually called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.
At Saint Joseph, we are providing a variety of options for you to renew your faith this year—check out the calendar in the sidebar for our current schedule of events! It is our hope that by reading and reflecting on the truths of our faith this year, we might grow in closeness to our God and fidelity to his teachings.
Catholicism 101
How much do you know about the tenets of our faith? Join us as we review the Catechism of the Catholic Church in our weekly Catholicism 101 study below (also in the weekly bulletin).
CCC Paragraphs 2142-2195
Among all the words of Revelation, there is onewhich is unique: the revealed name of God. God confides his name to those who believe in him; hereveals himself to them in his personal mystery. The gift of a name belongs tothe order of trust and intimacy. The Lord’s name is holy. For this reason man must not abuse it. He willnot introduce it into his own speech except to bless, praise and glorify it.(CCC 2143)
