VIRTUAL CATECHESIS Online Material and Resources VIRTUAL CATECHESIS Online Material and Resources The Challenge Articles: · The Challenge The COVID­19 Pandemic has brought many challenges in our world. Prior to the Pandemic, Digital Technology in · The Planning Catechetical Ministry was seen as something that was needed as we entered a Digital Era where we use the internet in so · Publishers many areas of our life. The Pandemic not only accelerated the Loyola Press need to use technology in ministry but has made the use of these tools essential in the next catechetical year to continue Sadlier the catechetical processes in the parishes. RCL Benziger Therefore, this newsletter will present how publishers are Pflaum moving toward “Digital Catechesis” and what resources and St. Mary's Press tools will help us continue providing faith formation to children, youth, and families in our time. · Online Applications First, we will explore the main publishers that are in demand · Upcoming Events in our parishes. These publishers support a high percentage of parishes in the Diocese of San Jose and other Dioceses. Then, we will present the most prominent digital tools to establish communication at a time when social distancing and sheltering in place is so vital. Contact Information: This newsletter is the first step of a work in process as new ways and improvements to catechize in a digital world are Irma Alarcon de Rangel being developed. Also, sharing the best practices that we find throughout the parishes will contribute to this work in the [email protected] future. 408­983­0111 We pray to the Lord, that these resources and tools will move us in the right direction, enhancing the way that we make Him present in our society. The Planning Plans for the resumption of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry should consider various scenarios according to distinct phases of opening/loosening of protocols by the county health department, parish locations/physical environment, school collaboration, and resources. Consideration of various formation options should include digital and hybrid, combining traditional with digital. Now more than ever, special emphasis should be placed on fostering and supporting family catechesis and empowering individuals as missionary disciples. We are at a time when parents are taking on the role of being their child's first catechists, but it is important that we help them and give them the necessary tools to take this role. Without overwhelming them more than this time of pandemic has brought for everyone. So in searching and finding the necessary and right tools and planning our catechetical processes there are several points to keep in mind. First, we must focus on facilitating a process and not a program. A process where the catechized and the family find God in every activity, reading, and video we provide. Second, promote reflection and prayer in their lives. Providing ways to reflect on Sunday’s Gospel is a good way to help families make a life connection when joining Sunday Mass. Third, even when we use the format of a class session or materials that are informative, we should seek to present the material so that it is enjoyable and easy for families to carry out. Finally, we remember that the most effective catechesis is integrated with liturgy, sacraments, and works of justice and charity.

  • Workshop A: 11:15 – 12:30
    Engaging Parents in Faith Formation: Take Advantage of Opportunities Not all parents take on their role as primary educators of the faith; unfortunately many do not have the capacity to talk about, model and witness their faith with their children. They need faith formation too! In our programs we continue to nurture growth in faith in our students and we can also support families and nurture their growth as primary educators of the faith in the home. It all depends on "how" we do "what " we do. In this session, John will share some ideas and suggestions for engaging parents in their A1 child's faith formation. JOHN COLLINS, National Religion Consultant, William H. Sadlier, Inc. John is a retired elementary school principal and grade 2 teacher, former Director of Curriculum, and former DRE and catechist. He has worked with Sadlier in the northeast for many years and has presented at numerous catechetical congresses.

ISBN 978- 1-57075-722-8. The series title, “Catholic Spirituality for Adults,” sums up both the approach and the intended readership of this volume. Barron, professor of systematic theology at the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein (Chicago), presents very solid dogmatic content in a highly readable format. Barron begins from an extensive retelling of the story line of Isak Dinesen’s “Babette’s Feast” (as do many North American undergraduate courses on the Eucharist) then unfolds the intertwined significance of memorial, sacrifice and meal through an examination of the Catholic theology of the Eucharist. This volume breaks no new ground but that is not its purpose, nor does it address such issues as the increasingly problematic nature of “sacrifice.” This book would be well suited to a parish adult study group or retreat group in deepening and clarifying current official teaching in a way that ordinary educated Christians can appreciate.
