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!

I did the English segment (seeings how I’m learning to speak that language pretty good) and my talented and charming friend and colleague Miguel Arias did the Spanish segment. A great big THANKS to all of the wonderful […]

Reconciliation – The Light is ON for You

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments
Tonight, our 8th graders will be going to the church to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the season of Lent.

They Left Singing!

What a delightful evening last night with my 6th graders! I had an ambitious plan and I am happy to report that it came off without a hitch. When it was all over, some of them even left singing How Great Thou Art! More about that in a second. Here’s the summary: Since I was relying on a number of video segments, I needed to get there early to set up my laptop and projector. That’s […]
