Actually, not only in my mind but also in my body! I’m off to Charotte, North Carolina for a couple of presentations before heading to Columbia, SouthCarolina for a presentation on Saturday! I look forward to meeting lots of catechists and DREs from the Carolinas. Thought maybe I’d catch a break from the Chicago weather for a few days but it sounds like our midswestern winter weather is following me there! Oh well, I’ll just have to count on warm hearts!

Howdy to Hoxie and a Salute to Salina!
I spent a few wonderful days in the state of Kansas (my first visit there!) at a couple of Catechist Rallies, one in each end of the state. Saturday was in Salina on the eastern side of the state and Sunday was in Hoxie on the wesern side of the state. That made for some nice long rides…beautiful! Thanks to everyone for coming out to the catechist rallies…I learned so much from you and I hope […]
Webinars
Wine & Cheese & Webinars
I’m told that a DRE at a large parish in Albany, NY, recently gathered a number of catechists in one of their homes and viewed my catechist training webinar on a wide-screen TV (hooked up to the computer) while enjoying wine and cheese! What a great idea! Maybe I’ll ask permission to DELIVER a future webinar while enjoying wine and cheese! Maybe not. 🙂 Print Friendly

Ohio Catholic Education Association
Cincinnati, here I come! I’m privileged to have the opportunity to do a couple of workshops at the Ohio Catholic Education Association conference in Cincinnati this week. I’ll be speaking on The Catechist’s Toolbox and Living the Mass. In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you about how your first few weeks of teaching are going! Send in your comments. Print Friendly
I am a Catholic school religion teacher in South Carolina and was wondering, are you giving a public presentation in Columbia?
Hi Jake. Yes, I am speaking on Saturday, Feb. 6 at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Columbia from 9 am to 3 pm on The Catholic Approach to the Bible. Contact St. Pamela Smith or Cathy Roche at the Office of Catechesis and Initiation, Charleston: 843-402-9115 x 18.
I hope you were able to attend the retreat today at St.Paul’s , It was fabulous! thanks Joe!
Well Joe at least you will be comfortable driving in the snow!)
Feel right at home! Actually, thankfully, it’s all rain here in SC.
Joe,
My wife and I attended your talk at St. Gabriel last night and really enjoyed it. Thanks for coming and maybe some time in the future you might consider doing a half or full day retreat based on “A Well-Built Faith” for those of us who aren’t catechists. Safe travels, and of course…Go Cubs!

Thanks, John. I really enjoyed by visit to St. Gabriel…thanks for your hospitality. Perhaps we will cross paths again some day!
