The Game of Life

Carlos | January 15, 2010

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 [...]

6 + 6 = Q&A

Carlos | December 1, 2009

Some of my readers may remember a post I made a few months ago called “6 + 6 = Awkward“.  Well, it’s that time of year where we review the Ten Commandments.  After some introductory reading, I chose to review each commandment in detail.  I asked for a volunteer to read the First Commandment aloud.  [...]

Catechetical Congress

Carlos | October 27, 2009

This weekend, I was blessed to have attended the Archdiocese of Boston’s annual Catechetical Congress.  It proved to be a wonderful opportunity to meet and share ideas with other catechists from all across the area.  The congress was kicked off with a prayer service that was led by Archbishop Seán Cardinal O’Malley, which was both beautiful [...]

School Break

Carlos | August 19, 2009

Sorry it’s been so long since you guys have heard from me.  I forgot just how much of a commitment taking a course requires; and if you think that because it’s an online course you can coast through it, don’t be fooled.  If you want to get the most out of an online course, you [...]

St. Maarten

Carlos | July 2, 2009

The reason that I haven’t posted much over the past week is because my family and I went on a family vacation.  We spent the week on the island of St. Maarten.  The weather there was beautiful and the water was nice and warm.  Everyone tells me that we picked the perfect week to go [...]

Recharging the Batteries

Carlos | June 19, 2009

With the Summer upon us, things have a tendency to slow down.  That’s exactly what’s happened with me.  I’ve realized that it is time to recharge the batteries, so no informative, insightful, witty (okay, I’m not really witty) posts this week.  This week you get more of an update post.
I’ve registered for my first class, [...]

He’s Certifiable!, or Catechising the Catechist

Carlos | May 17, 2009

I’ve always found stories with two titles intriguing, like Frankenstein, Or, The Modern Prometheus & The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned.  So, since I couldn’t quite decide between two titles for this post, it got two.  Now, while my students and family may have their own opinions, I don’t think I’m technically crazy; however, it [...]
