A Day in Dubuque – The Bible Blueprint

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

A great big shout out to all of the Catholic school teachers in Dubuque, IA, with whom I spent the day today, exploring The Bible Blueprint. We had a wonderful time together talking about how to integrate Scripture into the life of the Catholic school and make it more prominent in the formation experience of Catholic school children. Thanks to the good folks who made the day so much fun and so engaging and I wish you and all Catholic school teachers well as you begin this school year! Here are 2 pics (the 2 sides of the room) of folks waving their Bibles!

Lent: Promises Made, Promises Kept

Joe Paprocki Lent
There are many ways to enter into Lent and to draw from the riches of the season and its Scripture readings.

Catholics have come a long way in our understanding and appreciation of the Bible. For too long, Catholics were not encouraged to read and pray Scripture. Since the Second Vatican Council, (and especially the publication of Dei Verbum, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation), our Church has encouraged us to delve more deeply into God’s Word.
