1 e-echo e-newsle er of the Department of Catholic Educa on Archdiocese of Mobile October 2018 St. Thérèse of Lisieux October 1 Patron of missionaries, florists and gardeners Happy October! Like most everyone else, I m hoping that the weather soon realizes that we ve turned the page on the calendar! But, in the defense of the weather, I too am having a hard me believing that it is already October! And, this October brings us some very important ac vi es! Integrated Family Catechesis Workshops will take place at Christ the King, Daphne (Oct. 16) and Holy Spirit, Montgomery (Oct. 18). Dr. Joann Paradise is traveling to our Archdiocese to talk with those who work with children & youth in our schools and parishes. Encourage your team to join you for one of these important workshops! Our children and youth deserve the very best that we can give them and we as parish & school leaders need to learn more about how we can reach out to help families make their faith the centerpiece of their home. More info can be found on page 12 of this newsle er. Please remember to RSVP! Links to the Parish and School Profiles were ed out last week. Please remember to have them completed by October 15. The Assessment Instrument for parishes for the Archdiocesan Four Priori es will be given to pastors this month. This assessment tool is intended to be used by pastors and parish leaders as a way to s mulate conversa on regarding the four priori es set by Archbishop Rodi: Evangeliza on, Strengthening the Family, Serving the Needs of Neighbors, and Encouraging Voca ons to Priesthood and Religious Life. Be on the lookout for more informa on about this. Also, be on the lookout for more informa on concerning the upcoming Marriage Mentor Couple Training. OEFL will soon be training veteran couples to assist pastors in preparing engaged couples for a life me together. If you know of couples who have been married at least 5 years and have great Catholic marriages, suggest their names to your pastor! St. Jude October 28 Patron of lost causes; desperate situa ons; hospitals CAPP retraining is now underway! Thank you for all that you do in your parish and school. Thank you for your willingness and for tude in figh ng the good fight! As St. Thérèse reminds us, Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for God bless you! love. Important reminders! Remind your veteran catechists, core members and volunteers that they MUST renew their Child and Adolescent Protec on Program training by October 31st. To read this year s ar cles and take the quiz, go to the Archdiocesan website, mobarch.org, and then click on the Child Protec on tab. If you need to check to see who has completed their training, please contact Leanne in the CAPP office Also the lessons for children and youth should be completed during October. You can find the curriculum at on/resources.cfm 1

2 From the Youth Ministry Office: The Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry had a blessed and busy month of September. We had an awesome me with the 5 th grade students of our Catholic schools before they a ended the Blue Mass on September 11; they were encouraged and challenged to see themselves and their lives as a gi from God, and that they are called to give that gi away as God calls each of them to a specific voca on. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Parish Leadership Assembly of the school year. While the conversa on is frui ul, I am always so edified to see parish leaders from all across the diocese joining us from Dothan to Auburn to Pra ville to Mon Luis and everywhere in between! This month, we have two big events on the first two Saturday s: the Called to Love women s conference and ACYC JR! Please pray for the faithfulness and success of these two events. We ve begun mee ng with the Search Team in small groups, and they will have an overnight retreat in Pra ville on October The adult leaders provide forma on and training so that when Search Retreats are presented, they are truly for teens, by teens. We are working on giving talks and leading small groups, all the while repea ng that we are disciples before leaders. Search Retreat 19 will be November 9-11 at Children s Harbor on Lake Mar n in Alexander City. Registra on is open at our website, New to the registra on this year is our ability to take credit cards immediately a er they register. Our peer-to-peer retreats are fulfilling and grace filled, so please promote the opportunity and consider personally invi ng a few of your young people to par cipate. We are preparing for both ACYC and the March for Life pilgrimage. If you have any ques ons about either of those events, please let me know. Young Adults: We had a great me at the September Frassa Night when Pat Arensberg presented some Catholic basics about our crea on, fall, and redemp on. Catholic Young Adults of Montgomery has their next Brewing the Faith on Monday, October 8. Frassa Society of Mobile has their next Frassa Night on Thursday October Adam God bless the young Church!

Have you ever tried to engage your student audience in your lesson, but lost complete control of the room in the process? Have you ever just wanted to give up (or at least shout a few curse words on your way home)? If your answer is Yes to any or all of these ques ons, you re in the right place.

12 DCE announces... Integrated Family Catechesis Workshops with Dr. JoAnn Paradise Our school and parish programs are wonderful. We have marvelous teachers, catechists and YM core members who work relessly to help form our children and youth in the faith. However, if faith isn t happening in the home, there is a good chance that our kids won t stay Catholic. Our Sunday Visitor is sponsoring Dr. Paradise workshops here in the archdiocese. Dr. Paradise will travel to both Mobile and Montgomery to give two different presenta ons in each loca on. For our principals, RCs, Catholic school teachers Helping Catholic School Parents Make Faith a Priority in their Home We live in a new age. An age where many Catholic school parents no longer understand themselves as the first and best teacher of the faith. Our Catholic schools are expected to form disciples as the world and what may be happening at home sends conflic ng messages. How do we inspire parents to claim their VOCATION as a faith-filled parent? This session will explore the theological founda on and prac cal ideas to equip, support, affirm and challenge the parents in your school to create a home where the faith is treasured, learned and lived. Tuesday, October 16, 2018, 4:30-6pm Christ the King parish, Assump on Hall 1501 Main St., Daphne, AL Thursday, October 18, 2018, 3:30-5:00pm Holy Spirit parish 8570 Vaughn Rd., Montgomery, AL For our Parish PCLs, YMLs, catechists, and parish leaders Integrated Family Catechesis Is More Than One Gathering The ques on is no longer, Should we do family catechesis? The ques on is now, What are the necessary elements of effec ve family catechesis? We will explore the concept of integrated family catechesis that is systema c and inten onal as it awakens, evangelizes and catechizes parents leading them to a life of discipleship. All the while recognizing we must equip, support, affirm and challenge parents to see paren ng as a voca on. This session will inspire you to meet families where they are and awaken in them the holy longing to live in rela onship with God and his people. Tuesday, October 16, 2018, 7:00-8:30pm Christ the King parish, Assump on Hall 1501 Main St., Daphne, AL Thursday, October 18, 2018, 6:30-8:00 Holy Spirit parish 8570 Vaughn Rd., Montgomery, AL For more informa on, please contact Janet at jmasline@mobarch.org Please RSVP by October 12,
