From Albany to Atlanta

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

A great big THANK YOU to all of the good folks in Albany, NY, who participated in my workshops at the Spring Enrichment conference! We had a great time exploring ways to grow as catechists and how to make our classes more “Catholic.”

After a couple of days to catch my breath, it’s off to Atlanta for the NCCL Conference where I’ll be doing a couple of presentations on catechetical leadership…always an honor to speak at NCCL. I’m looking forward to hobnobbing with my “fellow wizards” over the course of several days.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

P.S. Happy anniversary to me! It was 9 years ago today that I began at Loyola Press! Entering my 10th year at one place of employment is a milestone for me! Thank you Jesus.

Dallas Was Delightful!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings, Joe's Comings and Goings

Loyola Press and I are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Diocese of Dallas, TX, which has resulted in numerous opportunities for me to visit over the years. This past Saturday was one such opportunity, as I served as “retreat master” for about 100 catechists, reflecting on Mary as the Model for the New Evangelization. Thanks to Lourdes Mayer and Jeanne Jakubowski for inviting me to serve their catechists once again and to […]

A SHOUT OUT to Cedar Rapids, IA!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

A great big SHOUT OUT to the wonderful folks of the Cedar Rapids Diocore (Diocesan Council of Religious Education) of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa, who came out in strong numbers last night to spend the evening with me learning about The Bible Blueprint! We had a great time at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Hiawatha, IA, and I was so inspired by the enthusiasm of these catechists and their catechetical leaders as they […]

Thanks, Detroit!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

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

  1. And thank you Joe!!!

    Long time no blog (from my side I mean). But I still check in with your site many times a week. You’ve really made me proud to say “I’m a catechist” over these past few years. And by the way, you seem to be everywhere. My “day job” isn’t even related to the Church but I was talking to a customer that was a catechist the other day (yes, conversations about our faith can arise even in the biz world) and apparently he knew you from St. Julie Billiart in Tinley Park.

    And then today I came across you in an article referenced in an online class that I am taking through the Virtual Learing Community for Faith Formation at the Univ of Dayton online!!!

    It’s great to see you spreading the word about the importance of catechesis. Keep up the great work Joe! We definitely need you out here!
