Leading Prayer as a Catechist

Facilitator: Joe Paprocki, DMin

Tuesday, October 5, 2010
7:00 – 8:00 p.m. (CST)

Becoming a catechist is exciting and, let’s face it, somewhat intimidating! New catechists are eager to learn some basic teaching skills to help them gain confidence as they begin their service in this vocation. This Webinar will provide catechists, both those who are new and those who’d like to refresh their skills, with an introduction to leading prayer to effectively engage young people in faith formation.

Some of the topics covered in this Webinar include:

  • The essence of prayer
  • Leading spontaneous prayer
  • Leading liturgical prayer
  • Leading reflective prayer
  • Helpful prayer resources

This free Webinar is led by Joe Paprocki, a fourth-grade catechist in the Archdiocese of Chicago with over 30 years of experience in pastoral ministry. Joe, national consultant for faith formation at Loyola Press, is the author of numerous books, including the best-selling The Catechist’s Toolbox and A Well-Built Faith, and the host of the blog Catechist’s Journey.

This webinar is in the past.
