Hi, Rachel!<br>One of my daughters has your name, and the same spirit! I say go for it. Yes, there are certification requirements that each diocese has for ...
I have wondered how to teach the proper way to say the rosary, since I've observed that there a lot of different ways I've seen people say it. I thought maybe...
Great item here Steve! I always have to follow my prayer book when I say the rosary just like I always have to have a recipe when cooking the same thing again...
A chat would be nice. Its probably easier for me at work since there are less distractions and I'm allowed to flex my work time. I'm here 6:30 to 3:30 pacific...
Just like before, Saturday mid-day is perfect for me! As you know, there's a toddler running around here(ha ha) but Rich takes her to Kindermusic on that...
didn't hear anyone responding about the chat so I didn't show up, sorry. Also if you have something to advertise please do it else where ( like emailing them)...
I'm having problems getting on. We've upgraded our computer and it seems to be incompatible with the chat room here. I finally got in by 11:30 PST, but it kept...
I had a problem also, I am so sorry everyone! Actually my reason for not being there was my 1 year old, she kept me hopping and I completely forgot! I hope...
When we were at school, we used to get an illustrated pamphlet called 'soldiers of God'published by the Jesuits from south India. When I was confirmed, the ...

Dear Club,<br>Hi! I haven't been on in a while- I am going to be confirmed on March 18th- Please keep me in your prayers. Also, I was thinking about what kind...

One idea I have, if your parish is not doing it now, is to offer a "Liturgy of the Word for Children" pull-out during one of your Sunday Masses. The children ...
You may want to have students act out bible stories or parables. Make as many parts as possible. Even inanimate objects such as trees, seed, etc. Kids really ...

Hi Lindena! Welcome:-) I LOVE the 6th grade, I am trying to get that grade again for next year. The problem is that I'll be at a new parish and they're not ...
I'm new here too. I'm so glad to find a group of catechists to talk with and share ideas with. Right now, I have a class of 4-6 year olds. There are 8 in our ...
Lindena -<br>I teach 6th graders, and its hard for me to keep their interest too. I try a lot of different things, contemporary music, vidoes, acting art ...
Sounds like you are working hard to make things happen. I'm teaching sixth grade in an urban parish, but many of our problems are the same. The 4 to 6 year old...
