5 Hours on Church Documents in Dallas!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of spending the day (9 am to 3 pm with one hour for lunch) with about 100 catechists in the Diocese of Dallas, TX, exploing Church documents! I know, I know…you’re insanely jealous because you would want nothing more than to spend a Saturday exploring Church documents, right? Believe it or not, we actually had a wonderfully engaging day that went by quickly. When it comes to Church documents, it all boils down to the fact that we catechists have SO many rich resources from which to draw.

I had the privilege of teaming up with friend and colleague Martin Lopez who delivered the same presentation upstairs to about 150 Spanish-speaking catechists and it looks like they had a great time to!

Thanks to the good folks of Dallas for inviting me and for allowing me to spend time exploring our faith and the ministry of catechesis. From Dallas, it was on to San Antonio with my wife Joanne to begin vacation.

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

Greetings from Detroit where I’m spending the morning with the Detroit Society of Catechetical Leaders talking about A Well-Built Faith!
