Wabbit Season or Duck Season?

Carlos | May 3, 2010

Neither, but it sure does seem to be Webinar Season. I have been lucky enough to have participated in two excellent webinars over the past couple of weeks that have really helped me to reconsider how I should engage in my ministry. The first webinar was presented by Jonathan F. Sullivan, who is the Director [...]

School Break

Carlos | August 19, 2009

About the author

Carlos

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”.
