Have you ever had one of those nights where you look back and think, “wow” or a night that you wish you could repeat every week? For me, last night was one of those nights.
When I arrived at Church for Religious Education, my CRE asked if I would be willing to merge my class with another [...]

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 [...]

So I got a call. It was a call I saw coming but was not looking forward to. It came nonetheless. It seems that my pastor and my CRE recommended me to our Director of RCIA as a possible addition to the RCIA team. The reason I saw it coming was that my CRE mentioned [...]

The congress was kicked off with a prayer service that was led by Archbishop Seán Cardinal O’Malley, which was both beautiful [...]

Over the last two weeks, I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in three events that have brought Catechists together to share ideas, tips and other information to help us all further our ministry. It started with a webinar hosted by Joe Paprocki from Catechist’s Journey. Joe broke his webinar into two parts. It was an [...]

I’ve registered for my first class, [...]

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 [...]

For me, it’s a calling. It’s something I feel comfortable doing, I have fun at and it gives me a feeling of fulfillment; but it didn’t start out the way.
My first experience teaching catechesis was a couple of years after graduating college. My parish in New York was in need of Catechists (as most parishes [...]
