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 [...]

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 [...]

Tonight’s class was not a good class, but honestly I suspected it would be challenging. Classes last for one hour. Normally, I take control from the very beginning and can maintain it throughout that hour. Tonight however, we had every student go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. While I love this sacrament and profess it’s [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We had our first Religious Education session this week for our 6th graders. The evening started with a meeting for parents and students to review what the year has in store. Our CRE reviewed our schedule, highlighting some new things we will be trying with them this year, including a retreat around the Ten Commandments.
The [...]

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 [...]

As you know, I’ve become a big fan of using tools and resources that go beyond those found in our textbook. In some of my prior posts, I’ve highlighted music selections, videos and documents that I like to use in an effort to get a point across in a non-traditional way. I’ve found that these, especially the new media options, resonate well with my [...]
