The WMOF is hosted by
different dioceses, and the
host diocese for each World
Meeting writes a preparatory
catechism—a collection of what
Catholics believe about human
purpose, marriage, and the
family. The catechesis, like the
World Meeting, is for people of
all ages at all stages of life.
The Preparatory Catechesis plays
a central role in each World
Meeting of Families (WMOF).
Created for Joy
We are more than an accident of evolution. We are greater than the sum of our biology.
God exists. He is good. He loves us. He made us in his image to share in his joy. He
takes an active hand in our lives. He sent his only Son to restore our dignity and lead us
home to him.
Theme from the Preparatory Catechesis of the World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015

In order to help us prepare for the World Meeting of Families
and the anticipated visit from Pope Francis, a catechism on
family life entitled, Love is Our Mission: The Family Fully
Alive, has been prepared. Each month for the next ten
months, our parish will reflect on one chapter from this
catechism. You can order a copy of this beautifully illustrated
catechism and learn about the World Meeting of Families at
WorldMeeting2015.org.
Chapter 1: Created For Joy
“Love is Our Mission” because love is our origin and destiny. Created in the image of God, a human being is
created for communion, which means that loving God and neighbor is the reason for our existence. Catholics
believe these things because of Jesus, our bedrock and cornerstone. Jesus suffered and yet persevered in love;
he was crucified and yet rose again. In Jesus, we believe that the Creator of the universe became one of us,
revealing not only who God is, but also who we are created to be and become. In a world of anxiety and doubt,
Jesus is trustworthy. When we follow Jesus, body and soul, even when it hurts and requires sacrifice, we are
living lives of integrity, for only in living this way will our lives coincide with the reason for our existence.
This brings us great joy. We sin and stumble, but the God we meet in Christ is faithful even when we are not.
God’s forgiveness is a gift that gives us back to ourselves, enabling us to embrace our mission and destiny
anew. Catholic sacraments and moral teachings serve this destiny. The sacraments are a genuine encounter
with Christ, while the moral teachings show what Christ-like love looks like in particular situations. Catholic
life summons us to heroism and adventure even in ordinary daily life. The world is charged with the beauty
and grace of God, and neighbors who need our love and kindness are all around us.
Please keep reading the Love Is Our Mission catechism for more! ~ Dr. Christopher C. Roberts, editor, Love
is Our Mission Preparatory Catechism
Did you know? The World Meeting of Families event was established by Pope St. John Paul II in 1994. It is
held every three years in cities across the world. 2015 is the first time it will be in the United States. Its goals
are (1) to strengthen family bonds and (2) to give witness to the fundamental role of the family in society.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION/FORMATION
Every year the Office of Religious Education holds a conference in the Anaheim Convention Center
called The Religious Education Congress. It includes people from all over the country. The Congress
lasts 4 days and is devoted to training and sharing with youth, youth ministers, and Catechists the
ways of enthusiasm and knowledge needed for preparing our Catholic families for evangelizing endeavors (helping
others to understand the Catholic Faith). Anyone who is interested in gaining the knowledge necessary to be part of an
outstanding and interested Catholic team can gain from an experience at this Convention. The theme this year is
SEE! What a simple and powerful word this is! What your Catechists are teaching the children is how to see God’s
work in their lives. What your Catechists are teaching the families is how to see themselves practicing their faith.
Catechists are asking your children to see themselves at Mass. Catechists are asking children to see themselves doing
random acts kindness within their community. All Catechists are trying to get families to see the practice and the value
of Confession. Religious Formation tries to help children to see themselves as dynamic Catholic leaders. Coupled with
See is Vision. Catechists are helping your child to form a Vision for the coming year that will coincide with what they
See. Religious Education finds for the students a window of vision for them to find their way to see:
1. Giving Thanks to God
2. Praising God
3. Finding time for their family
4. Living virtue
