Free Webinars for New Catechists



About 150,000 catechists are new to their ministry each year in the






Catholic Church of the United States. Loyola Press plans to






support their training by hosting a webinar series called “Getting






Started as a Catechist.”

The presenter will be Joe Paprocki, D.Min. He will identify the basis






skills in catechesis; 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.












“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.”

There will be four (4) webinars in the Loyola series, focused on separate age groups. Each will take place from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm CDT:

• August 17 (Primary age children: grades 1–3)
• August 24 (Intermediate age children: grades 4–6)
• August 30 (Junior high and high school)
• September 6 (Adult faith formation)

These webinars will be presented free of charge, on your personal computer! Catechists, learn more about your important vocation -- and become better prepared for Catechetical Sunday (September 18, 2011).
