Online Catechist's Retreat: Off to a Great Start!!!

27118edurgb600We’re off to a great start with our Online Catechist’s Retreat on the Spirituality of the Catechist!!! Thank you to all of you who have joined in thus far.

  • On the first day, our retreat was visited by 433 people from 13 countries!
  • 129 people viewed the introductory video
  • Over 40 of you posted personal introductions (comments), sharing information about yourself, your ministry, and your spirituality (I’ve read them all…so inspiring!).
  • A growing number of you are commenting on one another’s introductions.

Remember, this first week is dedicated to us just getting to know one another. It’s not too late to add your own introduction if you haven’t done so yet. Click here to go to the introductory post: view the video, read the post, and then follow the directions to post your introduction.

If you’ve already posted your introduction, I invite you to return each day this week for a few minutes to read the introductions of your fellow retreatants and to get to know one another better by using the convenient reply link at the end of each comment to offer affirmation, ask a question, or just chat.

And, most importantly, let’s pray for one another as this week turns into the next!

  1. I am a fifth-grade teacher at Sacred Heart School in Lombard, Illinois, USA and have been a catechist for eight years. My mission is to acquaint others with the truth–God does exist and He loves each of us more than we can comprehend. The Feast Day I am focusing on is Pentecost.
