As promised, we’ll keep the conversation going from our Catechist Training Webinar by addressing the many questions that we did not get to address while live. I’m going to do so by using the COMMENTS feature below. Click on the word COMMENTS just below and to the left and you’ll see comments from Joe, each representing a different question. You can then click on REPLY to add your thoughts. Let’s talk!

Growing as a Catechist
{ 48 comments }
I’m so excited about our FREE CATECHIST TRAINING WEBINARS that kick-off this week! Registration for the August 19 (Getting Started as a Catechist: Part One) and August 26 sessions (Part Two) is closed. There’s still time to register for the August 20 (Part One) and August 27 (Part Two) sessions. To register for these, click here.
Just a reminder, these sessions will be recorded and made available for viewing after the live presentations. Stay tuned for information about the link to access the recording.
In the midst of all this excitement, I can’t lose sight of the fact that my first catechist meeting is just 2 weeks away and my first class night is only 4 weeks away!
What about you? When does your catechetical year “rev up” (if it hasn’t already)?

During June and July, many catechists from all over the world participated in on online retreat here at Catechist’s Journey, focusing on the spirituality of the catechist. I’ve been getting some inquiries from people about whether or not they can participate in the retreat during the upcoming catechetical year. The answer is CERTAINLY! Of course there won’t be as much interaction as there was when the retreat was “live” but all of the content is still there (here!). To make it easy for you, I’m providing links to the retreat below. I suggest you bookmark this page for easy access to the online retreat.
And, of course, don’t forget to register for the FREE CATECHIST TRAINING WEBINARS that I’ll be offering beginning next week. The August 19 & 26 sessions are closed but you can still register for the August 20 & 27 sessions (7:15 – 8:15 pm CDT). To register, click here.

Due to the overwhelming response for the free Catechist Training Webinars, our first 2 Webinars (August 19 and 26) are now closed and we have added the following dates!
- Thursday, August 20: Getting Started as a Catechist – Part One
- Thursday, August 27: Getting Started as a Catechist – Part Two
- 7:15 – 8:15 pm (CT)
To register for these newly added sessions, click here.
Here are a few pieces of information that should help respond to many questions that I’ve been receiving:
- these sessions are live presentations on the Web – you will log on at the designated time and hear me presenting live on your computer as you view the slides of a PowerPoint presentation that I’ll be coordinating.
- you’ll be able to interact by responding to instant polls/surveys and by typing in questions that I will address during the presentations.
- the sessions will be recorded for those who cannot participate live. These recordings will be made available online after the live sessions.
- The time frame is 7:15 – 8:15 pm (Central Daylight Time). That means 8:15 – 9:15 pm (Eastern); 6:15-7:15 pm (Mountain); and 5:15 – 6:15 pm (Pacific).

Greetings, fellow catechists! I’ve enjoyed a couple of weeks of vacation (mainly stay-cation) and am well-rested and back at work! These last 2 weeks included some lovely day trips, time with some old friends, a big family reunion picnic, some home improvement projects, lots of exercise (running, walking, bike riding) and a long lazy day at the beach! God is good.
While I was away, I was keeping tabs on the response to the announcement of the free Catechist Training Webinars that I will be offering through Loyola Press. Suffice to say, the response has been overwhelming! Since there is limited space for each Webinar, we are talking about adding some new dates. I’ll keep you informed as soon as I know for sure.
