Indiana Conference for Catechetical Leadership – Hoosier Catechesis!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

I was privileged to spend a wonderful day with nearly 100 catechetical leaders from across the great State of Indiana at the Indiana Conference for Catechetical Leadership in Indianapolis. They invited me to be their keynote speaker and to do a couple of breakout sessions and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to spend the day looking at how we can set hearts on fire during this Year of Faith. My deepest thanks and congratulations to the Board Members of the ICCL for organizing such an outstanding conference.
