Thank You, Green Bay!

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

No, I’m not thanking Green Bay for anything the Packers have done recently! I’m sending my sincere thanks to all the good folks up there who hosted a couple of wonderful catechetical events that they invited me to speak at. On Wednesday, October 26, I spent the evening with about 250 catechists in Appleton, WI, talking about The Catechist’s Toolbox. What an outstanding turnout! The next day, I spent the morning with about 75 catechetical leaders at an event sponsored by the ProCLAYM organization ( the association of Professional Catechetical Leaders and Youth Ministers for the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay) looking at The Bible Blueprint and Practice Makes Catholic. I can’t say enough about how professional and friendly everyone was and how the greatest attention was given to even the smallest detail! Job well-done folks!

One of the perks of traveling is, in addition to meeting so many wonderful people, visiting some beautiful locations around the country. Today, I had the privilege of speaking at the Mid-South Catholic Leadership Conference held at Lake Barkley, KY (about 90 minutes south of Nashville, TN). Indeed, I got to spend time with some wonderful catechetical leaders, catechists, diocesan staff, (and even a bishop in the audience!) but I also got to enjoy the […]
