Today’s Parish Leader

A 14-part training program for lay ecclesial ministers

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have Tom Groome, Jane Regan, and the entire training team from Boston College’s pastoral ministry center come your parish? If you can’t have them in person, the next best thing is to have their ideas in hand. Today’s Parish Minister and the Institute for Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry have teamed up to bring your parish leaders a 14-session training program and theological reflection process.

General editor Jane Regan, an excellent teacher and author, has crafted this training program to make sure you get:

• Theological grounding
• Plain, understandable English
• A broad overview of central Catholic teaching
• A spiritual reflection process
• Group discussion starters
• A compact style that is accessible to time-crunched ministers

The easy-to-use, four-page format works well in small group settings. Individuals will also benefit from the deep insights they will gain from studying the central topics of Catholic teaching. In the 2006-2007 year, the Boston College team will be covering these topics:

• Catholic Identity (two sessions)
• Church
• Family as Domestic Church
• Scripture
• Spirituality
• Catholic Social Teaching

Part one of “Catholic Identity,” is available now. Get a copy for each of your ministers today. Available in packs of 10 for only $4.95. E-mail nwagner@twentythirdpublications.com or call 1800-321-0411 ext. 161.
