Weaving Our Gifts is a conference based on a model of collegial presentations. Through the sharing of our studies or experiences as catechists, everyone will gain a rich exposure to new information. Collegial sharing offers the possibility for attendees. Each catechist who shares their share ideas enriches the conference.

Educating Passionate Christians in a World of Religious Diversity

Educating Passionate Christians in a World of Religious Diversity will lay the Biblical, theological, and sociological groundwork for the catechists to embrace themselves as committed Christians in a world of religious diversity, be able to articulate this for themselves and parents and parish staff they work with, and consider the implications for their work with children ages 3-12.
