Autumn in New York

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

New York is indeed beautiful in Autumn! I spent the last couple of days in the Dutchess/Ulster County area and the fall colors are already showing in such splendor, especially along the Taconic State Parkway.

I did two Being, Knowing, and Doing professional development workshops for catechetical leaders in the region and had a very nice time visiting with these hard-working and dedicated folks. So here’s a SHOUT OUT to all the folks I met on Thursday in New York!!!

In between talks, I had the opportunity to visit the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz, a very lovely place. I had a chance to just sit and rest as well as walk around the lake…a nice way to refresh myself and get energized for the evening presentation. Here’s a pic. Have a great weekend all!

Surrounded by Cheeseheads! (And I say that affectionately!)

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

I enjoyed spending the day yesterday with about 50 “Cheeseheads” which of course is the nickname given to Green Bay Packers’ fans. As they celebrate their Superbowl victory, they were gracious enough to welcome this Chicago Bears fan into their midst for a Being, Knowing, and Doing professional development workshop. We had the most wonderful day together and talked about so many ideas and strategies for taking care of our catechists. Thanks to Gary Pokorny, […]

I spent a few wonderful days in the state of Kansas (my first visit there!) at a couple of Catechist Rallies, one in each end of the state.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the catechist rallies…I learned so much from you and I hope […]

  1. I am a native New Yorker, though now I live in NC. It sounds like you got a feel for the wonder of God’s creation in beautiful upstate New York. I love to see the leaves change color on the mountains!!! Remember, “God is on the mountain” Thanks for sharing. Josie

  4. I grew up in New York, not far from New Paltz, in Newburgh. Have lived the past 20 years in Florida, but I still miss New York in Autumn.
