Joe:
Thanks so much for the your efforts! Your approach will be most helpful for me when teaching my 9th grade Confirmation class. BTW, I will attempt to use your “Name That Song” quiz for teaching the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Even I remember some of those songs! I am looking forward to next week’s event!
God Bless and Pray Always
John K

Corina, your comments are truly inspiring. Your attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit is exemplary. I pray that you find an opportunity to pursue your vocation as a catechist and to effectively proclaim God’s Word to those you teach!

Thank you, Joe, and to all who are responsible for this great opportunity to participate together with other fellow Catechists. I was apprehensive at first but the Catechist Training Webinar was so easy to follow and understand. I taught Confirmation, for 5 years. Grades 9, 10, and 11. It was a three year program and I was able to follow my students for the 3 years. Then I came to a crossroad and the Holy Spirit lead me to teach younger children. Something I thought I could never do. I taught 4th and 5th grades for two years. The Webinar Training helped me see where I was overextendeing. Now I feel confident that I can teach one idea in a variety of ways. I have been away from teaching. Moving from one Parish to another in another city. I miss teaching and feel it truly is my calling. What I have learned about my faith was through preparation of the lessons, through the week, up until the last minute. I feel amply prepared to be a far more effective Catechist, after the Webinar Training. It was a successful beginning.It is encouraging to hear what other Catechist are experiencing.

Thank you. You were able to cover so much in such a short hour. I teach 6th grade and particpate in a combination 6,7, 8 grade session once a month. My degree is not in education, so I look forward to events like this to gain as much as I can, so I can share my faith with my students. I think the most important thing I received from your lecture was to look for the BIG IDEA in each chapter, think about what I want the students to be doing. Sometimes it can be overwelming reading through a chapter and the Catechist guide and trying to come up with the activities you know your students will like. I always read the Gospel reading for the Sunday and discuss it. – For some children, this will be the only time they will hear it. Many thanks again.
