Free Webinars -- Getting Started as a New Catechist

Roughly 150,000 catechists are new to the job each year! Loyola Press is
hosting a free webinar series, featuring Joe Paprocki, D.Min., called
“Getting Started as Catechist."

During each webinar, Joe will address the basic skills of being a catechist;
how to plan effective lessons; ways to lead compelling prayer; tips on how to organize a variety of activities; and how to maintain order and discipline in the learning environment, in addition to other topics.

“Becoming a catechist is exciting and, let’s face it, somewhat intimidating!” Paprocki says.
“New and experienced catechists are eager to learn ways to effectively engage young people in
faith formation and basic teaching skills to help them gain confidence in this vocation.”

Webinar sessions, dates, and topics will include (from 7-8 pm CDT each program):

• August 24 (intermediate age children: grades 4–6)
• August 30 (junior high and high school)
• September 6 (adult faith formation)
