| June 25, 2010

As you all know, I’m a fan of a number of Catholic podcasts and blogs, a few of which can be found on my blogroll and such.  I use the information from these various podcasts and blogs, not only to further my own knowledge and faith, but also to help me supplement and creatively deliver catechesis to [...]

Where in the world is Carlos the Catechist?

| April 5, 2010

I’m embarrassed to say that I’m still right here. I have no amazing stories to tell of travels nor do I have any unimaginable tales to share of events that have kept me away from my blog. In fact, I have no good excuse whatsoever. Yet, it’s been nearly two months since I’ve said anything [...]

I’ve registered for my first [...]

As you know, I’ve become a big fan of using tools and resources that go beyond those found in our textbook.  In some of my prior posts, I’ve highlighted music selections, videos and documents that I like to use in an effort to get a point across in a non-traditional way.  I’ve found that these, especially the new media options, resonate well with my [...]

About the author

My name is Carlos Torres, and for better or for worse, I am a Catechist. As a Catechist, I help supplement the religious education that parents give at home with focused and detailed lessons around Scripture and Tradition as taught by the Church. Now, I have no background in teaching, much less in dealing with a group of tweens and teens who don’t want to be with me, in a classroom, on a weeknight, learning about faith; yet week after week, I and many other Catechists do just that by letting the Holy Spirit guide us in planting those seeds and helping fulfill the Church’s mission to “go and make disciples”.
