Catechetical Conference in Tyler...

Had a great time yesterday in Tyler as our St Patrick's Christian Initiation Team presented a work shop "Christian Initiation of Adults - Passing of Faith for a Lifetime." There were numerous other topics available by various folks and we had good interest from around the Diocese of Tyler as 96 people signed up for the two sessions we presented.


In this photo me, Angela and Brenda get the music ready.

I discovered that being a public presenter at a conference like this caused a lot of folks to approach with questions in an informal setting between sessions. Fortunately I had answers. Stuff like "Where did you get that guitar?" It was a gift. "How do I get my daughter in law to be Catholic?" We are all on a faith journey, just at different places. "Why don't more people punch you in the face? " I'm lucky today, everyone here is a Christian and acting like it.

Our team of presenters were 6 great people, really easy to work with to prepare for this. Here's one of them, Father Paul. He might be a new blog character, I can't remember, but I will grant him absolution from the usual $39,000 fee for appearing on these pages.
