I just happened to be searching for new ideas on recruiting for catechists and came across your Top Ten List. What a great idea! I asked my returning catechists to come up with a list that we presented about a month ago (including the flying notecards like Letterman. LOL) It was something new and attention grabbing. It also put the catechists in front of the congregation so their faces were seen and opened up conversation during our Coffee hour. We had great results! Thank you, Joe!

First, that I'm communicating with someone from halfway around the world! Second, that you're thinking of becoming a catechist and my video may play a role in that. And third, that you have just experienced WYD08! Thanks so much for your comments and I wish you well as you continue to ponder the call to serve as a catechist. I think it would be great to have your vocation as a catechist linked to the visit of the successor of Peter! Many blessings and keep in touch to let me know how things unfold. Jillian, how exciting!

The young Catholics have been so excited ,refreshing and so committed to their faith. I think this will be an inspiration for many to connect with their faith again and also for others to grow in theirs. Thankyou for your insight. Joe,

I honestly don't know what Church that is in the video clip. That footage is from my out-of-print video Empowering the Catechist (Twenty-Third Publications). The scenes of catechists are from St. Mary of the Assumption parish where I used to work. However, the shots of the Church from the outside were taken elsewhere...perhaps even out east where Twenty-Third is located. Ruth Ann, thanks!
