VIRTUAL Pilgrimage to Italy, Day 5: Getting Down to Business

https://catechistsjourney.loyolapress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/YearofFaith_Banner_Pilgrimage.png

Up to this point, our VIRTUAL Pilgrimage to Italy has been filled with lots of sight-seeing which has been wonderful. Today, things get a little different as we jump headlong into the International Conference for Catechesis, the centerpiece of this whole experience to mark the Year of Faith with an emphasis on catechesis. Here’s our itinerary for the day (be sure to bring a notebook and pen with you…looks like lots of opportunities to take notes and some pretty “heady” topics!) Recognize the last speaker for the day? That should be exciting! (Dr. Joe Bound will be sending us his summary of these sessions!)
