YEAR OF FAITH<br />
This month marks fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of the Second Vatican<br />
Ecumenical Council, which was opened by Pope John XXIII at St Peter’s Basilica in<br />
Rome on 11 th October 1962. All the Catholic bishops of the world met together in four<br />
sessions of several months each year until December 1965.<br />
The Council, known as Vatican II for short, was the most momentous event in the life of<br />
the Catholic Church for centuries. The Italian word aggiornamento was taken by many as<br />
the best way to express its purpose, to bring the Church up to date, seeking to present the<br />
eternal truths of the Church’s faith in the modern world and looking at the problems<br />
confronting Catholics and all Christians in these times.<br />
The Catholic Church throughout the world will be celebrating a Year of Faith, running<br />
from 11 th October until the Feast of Christ the King 2013, to mark the anniversary and<br />
seeking renewed inspiration from the teachings and spirit of the Council for the Church’s<br />
mission today. Father David Finegan<br />
