Echoes - Parish-based training for handing on faith (Catechist Formation)
This is an eleven session active formational process to equip parishioners in handing on the faith to others.  Whether you are a parent, a catechist, or involved somehow in parish ministries; you have the responsibility and privilege of sharing in the Church’s mission to hand on the faith to others.  Well formed leaders are at the heart and soul of any parish programming.  Echoes consists of a leaders manual as well as individual packets for participants.

The Didache Series – Faith Formation (for Adults, RCIA, & High School)

Feast of Faith - Resource on the Eucharist
A four part catechesis on the source and summit of our faith (the Eucharist).
Four dynamic talks on two DVD’s and a workbook with small group discussion questions and content outlines.

Part One – Sacrifice – discusses how the Mass is a true sacrifice, the “re-presentation” of Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross.
Part Two – Real Presence – The uniqueness of Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist is contrasted with the other ways he is present in the world. Our need to be properly prepared to receive Jesus in the Eucharist is discussed.
Part Three – Preparation – we need to bring to the Eucharist more faith, more appetite, more repentance, and more forgiveness.
Part Four – Adoration – offers practical ways we can grow in our devotion to the Holy Eucharist.
