Parish Catechetical Leaders gathered recently to receive formation and professional development from Archbishop-elect Henning and Secretariat for Evangelization and Pastoral Planning staff at their annual start of the year Orientation. 51 parishes were represented from throughout the diocese. All 8 deaneries had leaders in attendance.
This year's focus was "The Family as the Context of Catechesis". Participants also heard from leaders from various parishes within the diocese who are already employing an adult-centered model of evangelization and faith formation.
A daytime and evening session was offered. The trainings were held at the Aldrich Mansion and the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Warwick.
