Dear Fellow Catechists, Parents, Youth Ministers and those in Adult Formation Ministries
from Lisa Mladinich
We are here to serve and support you as you labor to bring the light of our Catholic Faith to others. Whether you are volunteers or professionals, work in your home, school or parish, you will find in us a community of faithful Catholics ready to share with you and hoping to learn from you. We’re just getting started, but our FREE services will include:
- A point-and-click archive of tips from other catechists, arranged by grade level or program, called “Tips and Insights”
- Forums for sharing and connecting with other catechists in both English and Spanish
- Columns in English and Spanish
- Bible stories
- Catholic cartoons
- Children’s religious artwork
- And much more!
It is our hope that you will visit this site often and even consider contributing your own wisdom, experience and insight to all of us! Contributions are not required. But please prayerfully consider contributing to the formation and support of your fellow catechists by filling out our Amazing Catechists Questionnaire! We need your:
- Teaching and assessment techniques, lesson plans, amusing or inspiring anecdotes, activities, craft ideas, favorite resources, training experiences and more that have helped you to become better catechists, youth ministers, RCIA, NFP and Pre-Cana teachers!
- Articles on any of the subjects listed in our Questionnaire.
- Columns related to your area of experience or expertise.
When you register for the forums, you will receive a FREE booklet as our gift:
The Grace to Be Amazing!
Five Tips for Bringing Vitality and Staying Power to Your Lessons
We pray this little pamphlet will inspire and encourage you in your vital work for the Kingdom! Come on in and Register, and take a look around! If the Spirit moves you, fill out our Questionnaire! And tell all your friends!
In Christ through Mary,
