What is this "Year of Faith" all about?
 At certain times in the history of the Church, Popes have called upon the faithful to dedicate themselves to deepening their understanding of a particular aspect of the faith.
The upcoming Year of Faith declared by Pope Benedict XVI is a "summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world." In other words, it's an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion - to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with Him. The Pope has described this conversion as opening the "door of faith" (see Acts 14:27). Learn more.
