Headin’ West!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

This weekend, along with 30,000 of my best friends,  I’ll be attending the Religious Education Congress of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles!

I’m doing a presentation on Sunday morning titled “The Spirituality of the Catechist: Re-igniting the Flame.”

I look forward to meeting lots of fellow catechists and catechetical ministers as well as seeing many long-time friends, acquaintances, and colleagues.

The RE Congress is an exciting celebration of all things Catholic and I look forward to sitting in on some great presentations and receiving inspiration for the work that I am privileged to be a part of!

Joe Paprocki Joe's Comings and Goings, Liturgy and Sacraments

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 […]

The Catholicism Project

Joe Paprocki Newsworthy

Tonight, at the NCCL conference, I attended a preview of Fr. Bob Barron’s exciting new Catholicism Project. Fr. Bob was a teacher of mine in my Doctor of Ministry program and is one of the most brilliant minds in Catholic thought today. His Catholicism Project is a multi-textured introduction and explanation of the depths of the Catholic faith. What sets Fr. Bob apart from other Catholic “personas” is his ability to speak intelligently about the […]

  3. LOVE the work shop! I was able to get in to your workshop without even sneaking, just waited a few minutes outside with few more people like me eager to see our Hero (Joe) was awesome experience for me. This is my first time in LA Congress but has been a catechist for 5 years. I have been a fan of yours, read your books and has you as my Helper when I needed with my lessons. The talk was very helpful and how I wish we could stay longer but you sneek out so quick that I did’nt have a chance to get my pix taken with you. Hopefully next time I will catch you. Your number fan from Sacramento Ca.

    • Hi Evelyn! I’m so glad you were able to squeeze in to the presentation! I hope you enjoyed your first experience of the LA Congress and I hope that I was able to add to that enjoyment. Sorry I had to dash after the talk but I was assigned an 11:30 time slot for book signing. Thanks for all of your kind words and I pray that your 6th year of serving as a catechist is one of great joy!
