are you ready?
Joe Paprocki, National Consultant for Faith Formation for Loyola Press and veteran catechist, invites catechists, religion teachers, and RCIA leaders to join him in this Webinar that explores how to create engaging advent-themed faith-formation activities drawn from the Sunday Scripture Readings of Cycle C (the Gospel of Luke). Joe will take us through the readings for this Advent season, explore the theme for each week, and share some unique ways you can develop the theme into activities that inspire children, youth, and adults to enter more deeply into the beauty and holiness of Advent.
In the days following the Webinar, Joe will offer additional Advent-related activities on his blog, Catechist’s Journey. If you are unable to attend the Webinar, you may view the video on Joe’s blog. It will be posted the week following the Webinar.
This free Webinar is led by Joe Paprocki, an 8th-grade catechist in the Archdiocese of Chicago with over 30 years of experience in pastoral ministry. Joe, National Consultant for Faith Formation at Loyola Press, is the author of numerous books including the best-selling The Catechist’s Toolbox and A Well-Built Faith, as well as the host of the blog Catechist’s Journey.

Tonight, we begin our unit on Church History (St. Ignatius of Loyola pictured to the left). We kick off this unit by bringing all five 8th grade classes together for a PowerPoint presentation on Church history to give them a sweeping overview of major events in Church history over the past 2000 years. Each of the 5 catechists “narrates” a period of Church history and the kids take notes on a fill-in-the-blank note-taking sheet we provide them with. It’s an engaging way to introduce a topic that they may otherwise not find very interesting.

Tonight, we will complete our unit on Jesus. I have completed the Powerpoint that the young people began work on in class last week which covers the various aspects of Jesus’ life and ministry: the world of Jesus, the people of Jesus, the words and actions of Jesus, and the death and Resurrection of Jesus.
I’m happy to share the Powerpoint with you in pdf form:
Who is Jesus – complete presentation pdf
As we view the Powerpoint, I’ll have the young people read aloud the sections that they themselves were responsible for last week. In addition, the young people will take notes in a booklet I put together for them to use. You can access that here:
Who is Jesus booklet
Our song of the week will be Shania Twain’s Wanna Get to Know You.
Finally, we’ll finish by reflecting on a 10-minute PowerPoint on images of Jesus that I put together a few years back. Here it is in pdf form: Images of Jesus pdf
Lots to do…so little time!
