It’s great to be back home in Chicago but I did have a wonderful time at the NCCL (National Conference of Catechetical Leaders) Conference in Columbus. It is always so renewing and energizing to network with fellow catechetical ministers. I highly encourage all of my fellow catechists to find out about diocesan and regional workshops and seminars that bring together catechists for formation and training. You have so much to share with your colleagues and can be so enriched by them as well! There is such energy when catechists and catechetical ministers get together…clearly a sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit!
