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!

Santa Clara Faith Formation Conference
A great big THANK YOU to all the good folks who came out to the Santa Clara Faith Formation Conference this past weekend and especially to those who sat in on my presentations! It’s always a delight to travel to California (especially when it’s cold in Chicago!) and to share faith with you. I also had a chance to get together with my cousin Mike and his wife Mary Kay who live in San Jose…it […]

Rockin’ in Rockville Centre, NY!
Over the next couple of days, I’ll be spending time with a number of catechetical leaders in Rockville Centre, NY, talking about how to take care of our catechists! At least I don’t have to worry anymore about where and how I’m gonna catch the next Blackhawks’ playoff game while I’m on the road. The only thing I may miss is a Cubs game and, with the way they’re playing this year, that’s not a […]

A Shout Out to Peoria!
Here’s a great big SHOUT OUT to the many wonderful catechists I met last night in Peoria, IL!!! Peoria is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from the south suburbs of Chicago where I live so it was a very nice peaceful ride. A number of parishes banded together to gather over 80 catechists for a great night of enrichment that included a delicious dinner. I enjoyed the evening with you and look forward to […]
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!
