The Role of the Catechetical Leader

I just published the article, Dear Catechetical Leader, in which I provide a summary of the role and responsibilities of the parish catechetcial leader. This article can be found in the March/April Issue of Catechetical Leasder which is published by the National Conference of  Leaders Catechetical.

Formation Begins with You

In the April/May 2005 issue of RTJ: The Magazine for Catechist Formation, Susan Stark and Dan Pierson highlight the importance of each catechist's commitment to ongoing education and formation. One of their basic guidelines is "keep it simple." This may include

  • reading a book
  • using a daily devotional
  • reflecting on the Sunday readings
  • becoming more familiar with the Bible
  • keeping a journal
  • visiting a website such as www.americancatholic.org.
