Even so, you could hear a number of “and also with […]

Here are some thoughts from 5th grade catechist Nick Yonto as he reflects back on his experience of being featured on Catechists in Action. Thanks Nick! When Joe first approached me about filming my RE class I wasn’t sure if I was ready to open myself up to any criticism or critique.
