Greetings from Manchester, New Hampshire, where I am preparing to do a day of catechist formation tomorrow!
I’m happy to let you know that I have put together a Discussion Guide for my new book 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness. It’s available online and it’s free! You can access it by clicking on the link below.
Editor’s note: This week we’re thinking about small changes we can make for a big year in ministry. When I first came to the United States, I was eager to sample the rich food that was new and unfamiliar to me. And so I indulged and over-indulged.

Hi Joe – was wondering if you have a discussion guide for your book, “Living the Mass”? We are hoping to use the book in monthly Parent Gatherings for our Faith Formation programming. We just finishes up “Eucharist” theme last FF season. Thank you for all your work.
Hi Linda. Sorry, but at present, I do not have a discussion guide for Living the Mass. I hope you are still able to use it for your parent gatherings.
Hello Joe,
I enjoyed your session on the 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness at the MAC and am so pleased to see that you now offer the Discussion Guide! We are planning a book discussion for parents in the Fall. We have parents that will be joining us for whom Spanish is their first language. Any chance the book and guide will be translated by then? Thanks so much!
Christa, thanks. I’ll get back to you on this.
