Most parish programs and schools have wrapped up or are soon to complete their program year. We pray that it has been a year of blessing and grace for all of you—catechists, Catholic school religion teachers, parish and school staff, parents, and, of course, children.
We encourage you to use this summer to catch up on some of the reading you put aside until later. Although Catechist and Catholic Digest magazines are no longer published, new content is regularly posted on their websites, and you can search the archives for some great free content. If you read the Sunday readings as you prepare for your class, continue to do so as preparation for Sunday Mass. We’ll continue to include the link and a short reflection on the Gospel here in GROW every week. Maybe the summer is a good time to fit in some catechist formation classes offered by your diocese or deanery. Your parish faith formation director should be happy to lend you resources to keep you growing as a catechist as well as a person of faith.
Our team keeps you and your students—past and future—in prayer. We ask you to keep us in your prayers as well.
