Every month of SEPTEMBER, the Philippine Catholic Church celebrates the National Catechetical Month. This is in relation with the feast of St. Lorenzo Ruiz, a catechist and the first martyr-saint in the country.

Every year, the Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education (ECCCE) would release the theme and official poster which serves as reference for the celebration of catechists in the national and arch/diocesan/prelature level.
