Pope Benedict XVI just made a very exciting announcement that will shape the life and mission of the Church over the coming months:
Every so often the Pope will denote a spiritual theme for the year. For instance, we’ve recently seen the “Year for Priests”, the “Year of St. Paul”, and the “Year of the Eucharist”. According to an announcement this morning, it looks we’re on the verge of another one, this particular year devoted to Faith.
According to Pope Benedict XVI, the “Year of Faith” will officially begin on October 11, 2012 and will last until November 24, 2013.
So what does it mean?
