Connect, Awaken & Share: Practical Ways to Engage Parents in the Faith formation of Their Children

I have finally uploaded the handouts from Loyola’s Connect, Awaken & Share: Practical Ways to Engage Parents in the Faith formation of Their Children workshop from NCCL to our Yahoo! Group. Here is a description from the NCCL Program Guide:

Get ready for a whirlwind array of proven, practical ideas you can put to use immediately as you attract and involve parents in new and authentic ways to nurture the faith of their children. Everyone wonders how to get parents involved. There’s no magical answer, but you’ll come away from this workshop with concrete ideas that have worked for others and can work for you.

It was a fun, informative workshop, and I feel certain you’ll find at least one thing you can use in the handouts. Some of the items are specific to the Loyola program, but there is something here for every parish.

You can find out more about this workshop here: http://www.loyolapress.com/parent-workshop.htm.

Feel free to call or write me if you have any questions regarding the handouts or their proposed use. More stuff from NCCL coming!

Have a great weekend!

I love my computer. I love my computer.

OK. Most of the scans did not come out well because they are on color paper. We have a new scanner at the ORE; so, I am going to try again. Stay tuned.

Scanning in progress

I am currently in the process of scanning the documents from the NCCL Roundtables I attended and the one session on communicating with parents. I will be back in the office on Friday and WILL, "as God is my witness," post more notes and links at that time.

Notes going up next week...

I absolutely promise to get those posts up next week. I was at my office and my notes were, of course, at home in the ONE BAG I didn't lug onto the train!! Oh, well.
