Hey! You guys may not remember me. I’m the Catechist that used to post on this blog. It’s been how long? Oh yeah, a month and a half. I’m embarrassed by the fact that I haven’t posted in so long. Life got a little bit crazy for me in December. Work picked up as we [...]

Few words strike more fear and dread into the hearts of some Catholics then these: “Bless me Father, for I have sinned.” That was clearly the sentiment of my 6th grade class last year.
Besides the standing time slot on Saturday afternoons, the parish offers the Sacrament of Penance twice throughout the year during class times [...]

While most people would think that the statement in the title is obvious, I never appreciated just how “not equal” parents can be. One of the biggest disappointments I found from teaching this past year was seeing that in some cases, what I was teaching in Religious Education class was not actively supported or practiced [...]
