She will provide training for teams and be a resource in the area of confirmation throughout the archdiocese. We are exciting to have her join us half time.

Consider using the materials from the USCCB for a commission service and giving each a certificate. NCEA-ACRE Assessments Just a reminder that those coordinating Youth Confirmation Program are asked to do the NCEA-ACRE Assessment with the first year candidates. This is for you to build your curriculum for the coming two years. Areas that students need work on should be included in your program so they are prepared for the sacrament. 2 NCEA ACRE is designed to assist in the evaluation of catechetical / religious education programs in Catholic schools and parishes. As an integrated assessment tool, NCEA ACRE provides faith knowledge questions (cognitive domain) and questions related to religious beliefs, attitudes, practices, and perceptions (affective domain).

3 Some of you may have already heard this news but with faith in the risen Christ we learned that Dr. Marc Gonzalez died of a sudden, massive heart attack. He was the associate director for Hispanic Catechesis here in San Francisco form Nov August Before that he was the Regional Consultant for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles form and the Oakland Catechetical Resource Specialist From San Francisco he served as Director of Faith and Ministry Formation in Los Vegas He served on the National Conference of Catechetical Leadership as a regional representative and board member. He was living with his Mother in southern California and caring for her. Michele Bussey the director of religious education at St. Andrew Church in Daly City died after a long illness. For over thirty six years her ministry had been to work with the children and youth in the parish for their faith formation and sacraments. She was one of the first program directors to intergrade our special needs persons with her youth confirmation and to see the beauty for friendship and work together. She was know for her hospitality to the deanery meetings and basic catechist formation. She is survived by her husband and children. Please pray for her and the parish. May the Lord of all goodness bring her to her heavenly reward. W ALK W ITH JESUS AS YOU ACCOMPANY OTHERS ON THE PATH TO- W ARDS HOLINESS.
