Keeping Father Brian Informed

We know that it is important to keep our pastor, Father Brian Rafferty, informed about activities that involve or could affect the parish so we met with him after Mass this morning to get his thoughts on the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults and share with him our plan for self study and for eventually embarking on a catechism course for adults in our parish. He was very supportive of both the catechism and our plans.

We will keep him informed about how our study is progressing and, as we get closer to completing our study, talk more about the best way to teach the catechism to other adults. We are currently thinking that the small group discussion approach, led by trained lay people like ourselves, will work well. We also talked about setting aside sessions where he or one of our deacons could come in for questions and answers. Perhaps this would occur midway through and at the end of each group of sessions.
