(Faith-Formation staff blog report from the Office of Lifelong Formation and Education -- OLFE.)
Despite some extreme temperatures and inclement winter weather, the Faith Formation department brought a big group of Parish Catechetical Leaders, Coordinators, and Guests together for its regularly scheduled PCL Gathering last week. The meeting was held at the Flaget Center on the morning of Thursday, January 23.
As a follow-up to our OLFE workshops in September by John Roberto, three parish leaders -- Lynn McDaniel, Joan Huber, and Dawn Della Bella -- described how they have used various web-design tools (e.g., the Weebly program -- Weebly.com) to establish and/or enhance the online presence in their parishes for catechetical services and youth ministry.
The last hour of the meeting was devoted to a presentation and discussion of the Catholic Children's Bible by Saint Mary Press (of Winona MN), led by SMP representative Jim Geller.
Please note: the next event for PCLS and DREs will be an Annual PCL Retreat -- that will be held on Thursday, March 20 (2014), at Epiphany Parish, in Louisville.
