I’ll “see you” on Monday for the beginning of our Online Catechist’s Retreat: The Spirituality of the Catechist! Remember, no need to register and it’s free! Just meet me here on my blog, Catechist’s Journey, and “enter” the retreat. I’ll have a brief video welcome/overview, a post for you to read, and then an engaging opening activity for all of us to “get to know” one another! Have a great weekend and I’ll “see you” Monday!
