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.  [...]

Here I come to save the day!!

Carlos | November 17, 2009

Superheroes.  Who’s your favorite?  Maybe it’s Superman, or Batman, or Wonder Woman, or maybe it’s even the Green Lantern or the Flash.  Mine happens to be Mighty Mouse, for those of you who remember the little guy.  No matter which superhero is your favorite, they all have a couple of things in common … they use their [...]

Me? RCIA? Are you sure??

Carlos | October 28, 2009

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 [...]

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 [...]

Support a Catholic Speaker Month: Matthew Pinto

Carlos | October 20, 2009

Matthew Warner from Fallible Blogma has had a great idea. He has made October “Support a Catholic Speaker Month” and has asked Catholic bloggers all across to globe to spotlight one Catholic speaker (preferably one they know little about at the onset) on their blogs. What an innovative way to support the Catholic community, don’t [...]

Weekly Roundup x 2

Carlos | October 9, 2009

The last two weeks have been crazy, to say the least. Religious Education classes are underway, I had my last session for my Introduction to Catechesis course last week, work has been busier then usual and home life has been action packed as well. So, I am once again behind in posting here on Catechist [...]

Catechists Unite!!

Carlos | August 28, 2009

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 [...]

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, [...]
