Over the years here at Catechist’s Journey, I have emphasized the importance of storytelling in the catechetical ministry. To that end, I am happy to share examples of people sharing their stories inspired by the book, Sharing the Wisdom of Time, which, in turn, inspired the Netflix series, Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis.

In this video, Ann Menna, Deputy Secretary of Catechetical Formation for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, shares her reflections on the importance of time, title, and trust.

  1. It’s hard for me to imagine the time ahead without Ann Menna as our leader in the archdiocese (though Fr. DeLacey who will be assuming her duties is wonderful). Thanks to her for answering the call to serve for these years. What a great reflection for all who are making the transition to retirement. Personally, I would love to see her leading some sessions for catechists inspiring us with her wisdome.
