It’s a Big Enough Church 
The church is to draw all of the people of God into unity. Yet, within our own church we often let divisions define us. We can put those divisions behind us. Realizing that our church is big enough for all will enable us to be the witnesses of the kingdom we are called to be.

JOSEPH PAPROCKI, D. MIN
Practice Makes Catholic
Joe Paprocki will engage participants in a dialogue, both
with him and with each other, around key issues related to “Catholic Identity” and their implications for those involved in faith formation in both parish and school
settings. He will draw on his very popular book “Practice Makes Catholic” to focus on the theory and practice of religious education and catechetical leadership.

A call to be God’s arms in the world challenges us to celebrate the importance of our ministry within parish, school, seminary and board settings. Accepting God’s call enables us to help young people and the adults we work with to develop an intimate relationship with Jesus.
