Autumn in New York

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

New York is indeed beautiful in Autumn! I spent the last couple of days in the Dutchess/Ulster County area and the fall colors are already showing in such splendor, especially along the Taconic State Parkway.

I did two Being, Knowing, and Doing professional development workshops for catechetical leaders in the region and had a very nice time visiting with these hard-working and dedicated folks. So here’s a SHOUT OUT to all the folks I met on Thursday in New York!!!

In between talks, I had the opportunity to visit the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz, a very lovely place. I had a chance to just sit and rest as well as walk around the lake…a nice way to refresh myself and get energized for the evening presentation. Here’s a pic. Have a great weekend all!

I enjoyed the last couple of days in Northern Wisconsin with 100 catechetical leaders looking at how we proclaim the story of salvation through a Catholic lens.

The event was organized by the Wisconsin Directors of Religious Education Federation (WDREF). I had the pleasure of seeing […]

  4. I grew up in New York, not far from New Paltz, in Newburgh. Have lived the past 20 years in Florida, but I still miss New York in Autumn.
