Most parish programs and schools have wrapped up or are soon to complete their program year. It’s been a very unusual past few months for all of us! Despite that, 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 children.
We encourage you to use this summer to catch up on some of the reading you put aside until later. Maybe you have copies of Catechist or Today’s Catholic Teacher that you haven’t managed to read. (Check out their websites for some great free content.) If you read the Sunday readings as you prepare for your class, do so now as preparation for Sunday Mass. We’ll continue to include the link here in GROW. 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 is working hard on the Gospel Weeklies for the 2020–21 school-program year. Stay tuned to learn about a new digital delivery option that we’ll be offering for this fall. As we prepare resources for this fall, we keep you and your students—past and future—in prayer. We ask you to keep us in your prayers as well.
