300

The movie 300 tells the tale of the brave and elite Spartan army of 300 soldiers that went up against the Persian army of over a hundred thousand. Good movie.

Tonight, I am gathering with another brave and elite army of 300…catechists, that is!

Weather permitting, I will be in Naperville in the Joliet diocese, speaking about The Catechist’s Toolbox to 300 catechists from a number of parishes in that area. The DREs are treating their troops first to a dinner followed by my presentation. I look forward to a wonderful evening.

The only fly in the ointment: we have a winter storm warning with predictions of up to 10 inches of snow coming beginning this evening! I pray that we are able to come and go safely from the event and then, while we are sleeping, “let it snow!”
