"Will Our
Kids
Have
Faith?"
Find out more about the
exciting new initiative that our office is offering with the
Marriage & Family Office
and the Office of Catechetical Services
as a service to all parishes.
This presentation is for parents with
the primary goal of supporting their efforts to actively live
and share their faith with their children and in their families.
The workshop is based on the recent National Study of Youth and
Religion (NSYR) that led to the book titled
Soul Searching.
Our staff has received exceptional training for this interactive
workshop and we are pleased to offer it to you without cost for
parent sacramental meetings, school faculty meetings, staff or
professional training, and more. “Will Our Kids Have
Faith”
(W.O.K.H.F.) workshops work best in a 2-hour time slot,
but can be done in 90 minutes. Visit
W.O.K.H.F. site |

RESOURCE HIGHLIGHT -
Living and Loving Our Catholic Faith—Saints: Yesterday, Today,
and Tomorrow:
The communion of
Saints and our traditions surrounding them are one of the
distinct Catholic identity markers. However, many
Catholics—young and old alike—have little understanding of the
“rules” of sainthood, the types of saints, and many other
aspects of saints. Published by the National
Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, Living and Loving our
Catholic Faith: Saints—Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is the
second in the Living and Loving series. It is a resource for
youth ministry leaders intended to inform, form and transform
young people and their leaders in their understanding and
engagement of the Catholic traditions, theology and pastoral
involvement on the subject of Saints. To order from the
NFCYM Online Store, click

The Bishops of the U.S. have identified catechesis as
one oftheir top 4 priority areas in their 2008 – 2011
Strategic Plan. Within catechesis there is considerable
attention being given to adolescent catechesis. Bishop
Lennon has expressed his desire as chief catechist of
the Cleveland Diocese to determine how adolescents can
know what they need to know to more fully live as
faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. The Offices of
Catechetical Services and the Office of Youth and Young
Adult Ministry & CYO have entered into a dialog to
consider the vision, goals, strategies,
and implementation of this effort. To find out more
about significant national developments and what youth
ministry and catechetical leaders need to do,
