Handbook for Catholics – Great New Resource

Joe Paprocki Newsworthy

Just wanted to let you know about a great new resource that I had a hand in bringing to publication: Handbook for Catholics (Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND).

Nearly 15 years ago, Sr. Glavich put together a Handbook for Catholics for Loyola Press that sold very well and was very popular. A few years back, the decision was made to update Sr. Glavich’s handbook and I had the privilege of being the catechetical editor for this revised edition.

It’s a great little resource at a great little price ($3.50 each or a 10-pack for $29.95!) jam-packed with basic information about the Catholic faith (beliefs, prayers, traditions, practices, etc). It’s perfect for catechists, parents of children in RE/Catholic school, RCIA participants and sponsors, and even for junior high/teens.

Have a great weekend and I’ll “see” you Monday for the 7th and final week of our online retreat!

Three Tips for Working with the RCIA

Every DRE has his or her own approach to ministry. In my parish, our faith formation philosophy is to meet people where they are. I know it’s a pretty simple idea, but when we think about the variety of people from so many different backgrounds who come together in the Church, it is important to remember that the same approach won’t work for everyone. This attitude can prove to be especially important when working with […]
