 Year of Faith
 
 
"In his apostolic letter Porta Fidei (October 11, 2012), Pope Benedict XVI announced a Year of Faith to begin on October 11, 2012, and end on November 24, 2013.  As part of this special year, he calls on all Catholics to renew their faith in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in the teachings of Christ and in the doctrines of the Church" (Pacwa 2012).
