Too often, service to the church is limited by on-the-job training which alone does not sufficiently prepare someone to succeed in leading others to Christ. Those who answer the call to share their faith, who recognize that making disciples requires one to be a disciple, should receive instruction, formation, and attentive care to their own spiritual journey from the Church. To this end, the Blessed Stanley Rother Institute is pleased to announce live, in-person workshops each fall and spring starting in spring 2021 and leading toward Basic Certification in All Ministry Areas. These workshops are focused on equipping and serving those who have answered the call to Go Make Disciples and who want to share their relationship with Jesus Christ with others.
The FranciscanAtHome.com online platform provides world-class instruction and catechetical formation to catechists, youth ministers, and anyone seeking to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ. The platform can be utilized in three primary ways:
While numerous catechists and catechetical leaders have benefitted in recent years from Franciscan at Home in the first two ways, many still desire their formation through an in-person setting with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss lessons with others. These 2-hour, in-person workshops are being held in all six deaneries of the Archdiocese starting this spring and will continue as an ongoing commitment to serving and enriching catechists and their leaders.
Upon completion of the four workshops leading to Basic Certification, participants will be well equipped to deepen and share their faith with others. These workshops are:
