I think honestly if I get asked to do ONE more thing to evaluate, accredite, update, verifty, retrain, etc I want to SCREAM>......When do I get time to work...
To all the Saints, Blessings! Just a few musings on the topic of accountability and evaluation: I would be interested in the process that the diocese will use...
I apologize if I duplicate what others have already offered in this strand. I have to be truthful and say I've not kept up with the conversation recently, but...

Hi Carol, Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately, I am no Martha Stewart...so, do you just wrap the garland around the metal rings? Or fasten little snips of it...

I have to say, I think my point was missed completely. I agree that evaluation and accountability ARE important. I agree that we need to evaluate whether or...
I certainly did not mean to suggest that Shawn was wrong here in any way. I think I understand, to a degree, how little support many DREs receive from their...
I personally want to thank you both. I am going to file this info for next year. I wanted to have a Parish Wreath making session with a special blessing...

my first thought is who is Saltarelli? My second thought is I don't read anything where the majority of words are three syllables or over. My third thought is...
I love these conversations and find them helpful. What I am finding is a flood of paperwork from various diocesan offices - to fill out one more form, get one...
Shawn, I heard your frustration. Unless the process is a 'we' experience, I am not sure how effective it will be. An evaluation of a parish's carrying out the...

In the past, our parish has used both Vacation Bible School programs and also traveling evangelist programs (similar to Totus Tuus of Denver). We are...
Thanks, Peter, for your contribution. Perhaps things are a bit better these days - I recall the days in which a volunteer would last several years before...

We buy candles and metal ring from Autom, artificial garland locally, pre-cut the garland, have little pine cones, ribbon, etc. available. This year we are...
I recommend the one put out be Ligouri/Gospel Light. There is always a video that explains everthing in detail and offers three levels of "work" that you can...

We've done many teas over the years, and also do three seasons of similar format, on Thursday mornings, three mornings to a season. They're always well-loved...
Hi all...where to begin? I've been waiting until our current situation cleared-up here before saying anything, and I guess we're at a good point. Pay ...
