Connecting with Your Fellow Catechists

Joe Paprocki Technology in Catechesis

laptop, tablet, and mobile device - connect with Catholic Faith Formation

An important strategy for personal growth and success is to network with others. When my son Mike was bogged down working a job that didn’t always fulfill him as he had hoped, I encouraged him to network with clients, which he did. One of those connections led to a new job that he absolutely loves.

As catechists, we benefit from networking with one another! As we all gear up for the start of the catechetical year, this is the perfect time to connect with the Catholic Faith Formation Facebook page from Loyola Press, which brings our catechetical conversations to Facebook and enables you to connect with other catechists and to find links to resources and inspiration.

Likewise, for monthly planning ideas and catechist development articles, subscribe to the Catholic Faith Formation e-newsletter. This monthly feature includes tips and advice to help you catechize and evangelize throughout the year.
