Catechists in Action – Dan Ward Segment 7

Joe Paprocki Catechists in Action

In this segment of Catechists in Action, 7th grade catechist Dan Ward runs into a bit of a time snag. Because of the Advent prayer service that took place in church, he has no time to complete the activity he had planned which was a Mass flip-book. Watch as Dan…

  • shows samples of Mass flip-books made by previous classes
  • asks and encourages his students to complete the project on their own
  • explains how they can complete the project on their own
  • talks about how they will use the flip-books to tutor the 2nd grade students preparing for First Communion and perhaps get service hours for Confirmation
  • describes how to fold the flip book
  • assures the young people that he will pray for them to complete the project on their own when one student asks “what if we forget to do it?”

P.S. I’m sorry that some of you are having trouble hearing these videos. So much depends on what kind of computer you have. I hear it best with headphones attached to my lap top and also get it loud and clear through my Droid phone.

This is the Day the Lord Has Made…

Joe Paprocki Joys and Frustrations

You may recall from some of my previous posts, that this year, I began each religious education class by inviting the 8th graders to stand and respond “Let us rejoice and be glad!” to my invocation of “This is the day the Lord has made.” This became a very joyful part of our class and the kids routinely responded with great enthusiasm and vigor. Lo and behold, at our end-of-the-year Mass on Monday evening, the […]

Savoring the Liturgy

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

Savoring seems to be a lost art in our fast-food culture. We usually associate the word savor with food or drink. We savor a delicious bite of food or a sip of good wine. To savor literally means to “give oneself to the enjoyment of.” It means to be mindful of that which you are eating and drinking – to unite body and mind in the present moment of tasting. I believe that we are […]

A Catechist Aide Just For You!

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

I know most catechists appreciate having an aide to assist them, especially when that aide can act as a “co-catechist” of sorts, jumping in from time to time to offer support, insight, and perspective on the lesson being taught. This is especially helpful for catechists who teach younger children whose attention spans can be so short! With that in mind, Loyola Press is happy to provide those of you teaching First Eucharist and First Reconciliation […]
