As the Catholic Church continues to learn from the Second Vatican Council, it is important to remain aware of the documents produced and teachings promulgated by the council. In commemorating the 60th anniversary of the opening of the council, Bishop Dolan invites us to watch a brief video about each document and, if possible, read the documents in full. You can get to each from this landing page.
