Take time this summer to be enriched and encouraged in your ministry as a Catechist in Faith Formation. We are offering three opportunities for you to hear from people who have done great things and they are able to give you ideas, tools and inspiration as you begin another year in your ministry. Please feel free to register for all three presentations or any one or two! All are welcome!!

“In the Beginning is the Teacher’s Manual…But YOU Spark the FIRE of Faith”

Thursday, August 11 from 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Lake Ronkonkoma
Tapas and beverages included, thanks to Lynn Wilson, Sales Representative of Sadlier Publishing
Description: Yes, there is the book, the manual, the lesson plans and ideas…all good and necessary. But it’s the catechist who can ignite that “spark” of faith in the students. Join us!
A prayer experience to call on the Holy Spirit to “kindle in you the fire of his love.”
An opportunity to reflect on your role of forming disciples…“fanning the flame in you” …allowing your faith to fire up your life and role in the classroom.
A wealth of ideas, strategies, and activities for the classroom to help kids allow the light of Christ to shine brightly through them.
