Grace and peace, I hope this note finds you well.

The Church in Australia will celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God on the first Sunday in February – 6th February 2022. Pope Francis established the day, which is devoted to “the celebration, study and dissemination” of the Word of God.  

In collaboration with the National Office for Liturgy, a range of resources have been prepared for the promotion and celebration of Word of God Sunday.

Please visit www.catholic.org.au/wordofgodsunday to access resources to help commemorate the day and for suggestions on how to better engage with Sacred Scripture in various ways and settings. The resources include:

1.    Homily Notes
2.    Liturgical Notes
3.    Bulletin Notice
4.    Prayers of Intercession
5.    A reflection
6.    Social media graphic

Also, I would like to remind Parishes about the Commissioning of Faith Formators which is held on Sunday, 6th February 2022 as the catechising of our families, children and youth is a vital part of the mission of our Church and Parish Community.

In Domino,
+Patrick O'Regan
Archbishop of Adelaide
