Catechists in Action – Marge Leads Discussion

Joe Paprocki Catechists in Action, RCIA

In this segment of Catechists in Action, Marge Garbacz leads her RCIA group in discussion about the Catholic approach to human dignity. Watch for the following:

  • Marge offers comments on the “Mr. Cellophane” song that the group just viewed.
  • The group offers their reactions and experiences of feeling “invisible” or treating others as though they were invisible.
  • Notice how Marge pulls back and allows discussion to flow and how she asks if anyone else has a thought to add before taking control again.
  • Discussion flows from story-telling to sharing insights, all very heartfelt and pertaining to everyday lived experiences.
