Under the Influence – in N’awlins!

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

My new book, Under the Influence of Jesus: The Transforming Experience of Encountering Christ, made its debut in the great city of New Orleans this past weekend at the Hofinger Catechetical Conference.

We were a bit nervous at first because of a delay in shipping but, thanks be to God, the books arrived and the rush was on to buy them and so many people were kind enough to ask me to sign their copy! As always, New Orleans is such a wonderful experience and the people there were so welcoming. Of course, the food and music were wonderful a well! Thanks to all for a great experience. Sorry your Saints lost! Here are a few pics of the goings-on.

Here I am with Chicago’s very own Andrew Lyke, Director of the Office for Black Catholics.

Joe Paprocki Being a Catechist

I realized recently that I hadn’t received a comment here on my blog for a while. I chalked it up to folks being busy with end-of-the-year responsibilities and then vacations. However, I brought it to the attention of my IT guy and, sure enough, upon investigation, he found that a security setting had been blocking comments. He assures me that he’s corrected the situation. Sorry if you’ve been trying to leave comments in recent weeks […]

Thanks, Detroit!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

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
