In the Year of Faith which begins shortly, Pope Benedict invites every Catholic to rediscover the gift and the riches of their faith and to seek new ways of proclaiming it.
The year will begin on 11 October 2012, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, and conclude on 24 November 2013, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pope Benedict said, ”This will be a good opportunity to usher the whole Church into a time of particular reflection and rediscovery of the faith.”
