Pope Francis' Prayer for Catechists:

Dear Catechists & Aides,

Every month, Pope Francis issues a prayer intention for Catholics to pray for and this month it is for Catechists. The work of Catechists – to teach the faith in both word and example – is one of great importance. We hope you find this video with written translation encouraging and know of our prayers and support for you in your work. The whole Church is praying for you!
