During June and July, many catechists from all over the world participated in on online retreat here at Catechist’s Journey, focusing on the spirituality of the catechist. I’ve been getting some inquiries from people about whether or not they can participate in the retreat during the upcoming catechetical year. The answer is CERTAINLY! Of course there won’t be as much interaction as there was when the retreat was “live” but all of the content is still there (here!). To make it easy for you, I’m providing links to the retreat below. I suggest you bookmark this page for easy access to the online retreat.

This training session sounds great. I can’t make any of the live presentations coming up but am very interested in when it will be available. I am running a catechist training session on September 8 and 10 and I would love to see what your topics are to help me with training. I am the director of religious education for elementary school age children K-5. Thanks so much!
Lorraine, the recordings of the Webinars will most definitely be available by then. I’ll announce it on my blog and provide the link. Stay tuned.
This is my first time teaching and I have no clue where to begin! I will be teaching first grade so I want to make sure I teach them everything they need to know. Can you point me in the right direction for the appropriate tools I will need to be the “best” first grade Catechist. Thank you and God Bless.
