Joe Paprocki Joe's Comings and Goings

ED000418Thanks to Jennifer Schneider, Director of Faith Formation, and her staff at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in New Prague, MN, for alerting me to the fact that I made a big boo-boo on question #1 of the What’s Your Catholic IQ? in the current issue of Catechist Magazine. Here’s her email:

Joe

We are having a bit of a dilemma here at our office around a question in the Catechist Magazine catholic IQ. The question is #1 in the March issue-“Which of the following characters appears only in this year’s version of the Passion for Palm Sunday?”

The answer listed is C-Simon the Cyrenean, we were able to find references to him in Matthew & Mark as well-help!!

Thanks!

In His Joy!

Jennifer

Jennifer and her staff were diligent in doing their homework and are absolutely correct that Simon of Cyrene can be found in Matthew and Mark as well as Luke.

Sorry ’bout that one folks! Just a careless mistake on my part. What I like is that folks like Jennifer and her staff are spending the time diligently studying their faith, using the What’s Your Catholic IQ? feature and referring to Scripture and other resources to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith. That’s inspiring. I’m also appreciative of the charitable manner in which she/they brought the matter to my attention. Thanks Jennifer!

BTW, the good folks at Catechist Magazine have accepted my sincere mea culpa and have corrected the item on the online version!

Here’s an excerpt from an article (“7 Steps to a More Robust Liturgy”) I just had published in Ministry & Liturgy Magazine: On a recent trip to Hawaii, I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center and got a firsthand glimpse of the ritual expression of the Polynesian people: bold, dramatic, rich, deeply expressive, highly energizing. I found my imagination stirred, my heart moved, and my senses stimulated as young people explained and performed ancient rituals to the […]
