Iced Coffee Catechesis – A Well-Built Faith

Joe Paprocki Adult Faith Formation

I’ve already mentioned to you the Lawn Chair Catechism being hosted by CatholicMom.com which is using my book,  A Well-Built Faith: A Catholic’s Guide to Knowing and Sharing What We Believe, this summer. Now, I find word that a parish in Andover, MA, is also using AWBF for what they call “Iced Coffee Catechesis!” Here’s their blurb:

Iced Coffee Catechesis

iced coffee catechesisPope Francis reminds us that joy is ours in Christ – a joy ever new – a joy which is shared. Join us Wednesday evenings in July to learn more about the joy of our faith and how to share it – especially with our youth. We’ll be using Joe Paprocki’s “A Well Built Faith,” which presents a wonderfully simple approach to understanding the Catechism along with excerpts from Pope Francis’ “The Joy of the Gospel.” No reading ahead required to join us for discussion. We will meet once a week on Wednesday evenings through July. This is open to all – feel free to bring a friend.
