Thanks, Detroit!
I spent a wonderful day with about 75 catechetical leaders in Detroit today at a gathering sponsored by the Detroit Society of Catechetical Leaders. We talked about A Well-Built Faith and how we can help our catechists (and those they teach) to be able to grasp their faith and be able to talk about it with greater ease. Thanks for your hospitality and best wishes to all of you in the Detroit Archdiocese! Print Friendly
Many thanks, Joe, for sharing this presentation with all of us. As I continue to journey through what is a very busy time for me personally, this presentation has stoked the embers that I felt were buried deep and renews my energy for this day. We continue to be blessed by your sharing of your ministry.

Lilian, it was a pleasure meeting you and I had a wonderful time. Thank you for your hospitality and I wish you continued blessings as you enter Holy Week!
This sounds very familiar…have I read a book of yours that treats this subject?
This was the focus of the online retreat I hosted last summer on my blog. Good memory, Christian!
Dear Joe,
I finally got to meet you in person! Your presentation was awesome and very helpful for me. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Your talk has inspired me. I was so happy to be there at the Congress. God bless you!
Sr. Betty, thanks for your kind words…I had such a wonderful time at the Congress! I’m glad that I was able to partner with you in your ministry, at least for an hour or so! Have a blessed Holy Week and a wonderful Easter!
