New Leader Institute
The Upper Room is designed for volunteer leaders and those
interested in formation to prepare them for effective parish
catechetical or youth ministry, especially in smaller parish
settings.
This overnight retreat is designed to be both spiritually
enriching and practical; providing opportunities for prayer,
theological reflection and discernment, as well as skill-based
sessions useful to leaders in catechetical and youth ministry.
The workshop will provide a basic foundation in the areas of
Theology of Ministry, Nature & Purpose of Catechesis, Communication
Skills, Forming & Nourishing "Volunteers", Catechetical Planning,
Whole Community Catechesis, and more. The Christian Formation
budget will subsidize this event to make this opportunity more
affordable for all.
