The Archdiocesan Office of Lifelong Formation and Education (OLFE)
will host a workshop on Saturday, September 17.

"The Village @ Work:
Faith-Formation in the Whole Community"


The event will be held at the Saint Agnes Parish, 1800 Newberg Road, in Louisville (see link to directions below) from 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Presenter: Leisa Ainslinger, M.A.

All persons engaged in faith-formation ministry, on all levels in their local communities, are invited and urged to attend this special presentation.

Workshop Description: A proverb from Africa states that ‘it takes a village to raise a whole person.’ Never has this seemed more true! This workshop, by noted author and adult education specialist, Ms. Leisa Anslinger, will explore The Village at Work in the dynamic process of
faith-formation in and for the whole local Church. During part one, Ms. Anslinger will focus – in conjunction with the theme of Catechetical Sunday 2011 -- on the critical and lifelong task of
sacramental formation for all ages. Throughout part two of the workshop, she will center on practical dimensions of what parents, extended family members, and others (in the wider community) can do to nurture a lasting Catholic identity.

About Our Presenter: Leisa Anslinger is recognized widely as an expert on lifelong catechesis, faith-development, and Catholic stewardship. She holds a B.A. in Music Education, from St. Mary-of-the-Woods College; a Masters in Secondary-School Counseling, from Purdue University; and a M.A. in Religion from the Athenaeum of Ohio. She is the author of Here Comes Everybody! Whole Community Catechesis in the Parish – a practical guide about lifelong faith-formation programs in parish life today.
