Evangelizing Catechesis in Oakland, CA

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

We were blessed with a visit from Bishop Barber, S.J., who spoke eloquently about his desire for catechesis to be more evangelizing, for us to expect more from those we teach, and for us to give them an experience of the transcendent.
