The Association of Coordinators and Religious Educators (ACRE) invites you to attend our Fall Professional Catechetical Leadership Day on the topic of Accompaniment and Discipleship from 8:30-2:00 on Friday, August 27th. Lori Dahlhoff will address professionalism, networking and mentoring as we explore the topics of truth, beauty and goodness in the new Directory for Catechesis. What are the kaleidoscope of essential things every catechetical leader needs to know in handing on the Catholic faith today and being “catechists to the catechists.” We will also look at the qualities and characteristics the Church describes for faithful and effective catechetical leaders and ways to nurture these ourselves. Our day will include time for discussion, interaction, and networking as well as good food, inspiration, and support!

Give me this day, O God,
The energy I need to face my work;
The diligence I need to do it well;
The self-discipline I need to work just as hard,
even if no one is there to see, praise, or blame;
Give me the self-respect to do my best;
The courtesy to be easy to work with;
And the chance to improve my world. Amen.
