A catechist formation day is planned March 18 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, 61 Georgia Road, Freehold. The event is co-sponsored by the diocesan Department of Catechesis and Loyola Press.
Designed to encourage and equip catechists in becoming more intentional in catechizing about the Eucharist to their learners, the day will include the celebration of Mass, lunch and breakout groups led by parish catechetical leaders, who will provide catechists with practical tips and ideas on how to make the Eucharist come alive in their teaching.
Keynote speaker for this formation day is Joe Paprocki, the National Consultant for Faith Formation for Loyola Press, where he works on the development team for faith formation curriculum resources, including “Finding God: Our Response to God’s Gifts.”
