Dallas Was Delightful!

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

Loyola Press and I are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the Diocese of Dallas, TX, which has resulted in numerous opportunities for me to visit over the years. This past Saturday was one such opportunity, as I served as “retreat master” for about 100 catechists, reflecting on Mary as the Model for the New Evangelization.

Thanks to Lourdes Mayer and Jeanne Jakubowski for inviting me to serve their catechists once again and to Imelda Ramirez for hosting us at the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thanks to all who came out to make the day so enriching!

On the Road with Joe: The Diocese of Wilmington, DE

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

When I travel, I typically make all of my own arrangements for flight, hotel, and rental car. Recently, however, I traveled to the East Coast to do a presentation for the Diocese of Wilmington, DE, and my colleague and friend Paul Gallagher, the Loyola Press Educational Consultant for the region, told me that it would make sense for him to pick me up at the airport and drive the three-hour trip to our hotel and […]
