Off to Dallas…Remember My Webinar!

I’m off to Dallas, TX (as if it’s not hot enough in Chicago!) to spend a day with a few hundred catechists talking about The Role of the Catechist.

Don’t forget to register and tell others about my Webinar coming up on August 19: Getting Started as a Catechist! (Part One)
