Thanks but I went their first. All they have are the ones with the great little boy on the cover "Why do we have to go to Mass?". I need one that tells...
Amy, I know you were looking for published material, but is there a reason why you don't want to do this in house. Get pastor's input and have him sign off of...
Hi Amy, I typed Barbara's name into goggle. I think she works for a Texas Diocese and is involved in other liturgy projects. I would try to contact her at the...

I've always tried to have two catechists in each grade so that if one didn't show the other would be there. Â Also, I recruited an "office helper" or two to be...
My only solution is to have two catechists per class, which isn't always easy. I have a handful of willing "subs" in the wings, and I try to keep myself aware...
I find it is helpful to have a detailed syllabus for each grade level so that, before hand, I know which lesson is to be covered, what video can be used to ...
It's that time of year again and many of us are preparing families for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. I would love to hear some of your best...

What I gather from the comments people make to me is that people in the pews expect the priests to be available to them whenever they pop in. It's very...
to be real -don't preach to me on Sunday and act the completely other way the rest of the week. Respect the staff and parishioners -we are not here to serve...
I was wondering what you do to train your catechists. I offer a minimum of three in-services a year, but out of 103 catechists only about 15 ever show, and the...
