"Life of Faith, Rock of Hope" Catechist Retreat

The Office of Catechetics of the Diocese of Lafayette is offering at Catechist Retreat. "Light of Faith, Rock of Hope, Fire of Love: Catechizing the Whole Person" will be presented by Rev. Clinton Sensat on Saturday, August 24, 2019, from 9am-12noon in Fusilier Hall at the Immaculata Center,1408 Carmel Drive in Lafayette, La.

For Catechists working on their certification, it will count as an elective. For Catholic School Teachers, 3 religion hours will be given. This retreat investigates the different modes of catechesis. It will look at instructing the whole person, including the intellectual, emotional, and aspirational aspects of the human being. We will correlate the three theological virtues, the three spiritual senses of Scripture, and the three saving offices of Jesus Christ. The hope is to discover new charisms and inspired paths to fulfill our mission as catechists granted to us by Jesus Christ. The retreat will mainly consist of conferences and periods of reflection, but there will also be an opportunity for discussion.
