Year of Faith

Today is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the second Vatican Council.  It also marks the beginning of the Year of Faith, which will conclude with the feast of Christ the King, November 24, 2013.
This morning in St. Peter's Square, there was a Mass celebrated to mark this anniversary.  There were 35 Bishops in attendance who also participated in the council, including Pope Benedict himself!
This week a Synod (a gathering of some of the Bishops of the world) began on "New Evangelization" which will last for 5 weeks. 
There will be all kinds of "Year of Faith" initiatives, with our parish as well as within our Archdiocese. All of these are designed to help us know our faith more fully, and be people who live our faith in the modern world.  
Here is some Video from earlier today:


Peace!
