Dear Members of the Parishes in the Diocese of Gallup,

Peace and all good to you!

As part of my introduction to serving in this diocese in catechesis, one positive dimension is our Bishop’s vision in offering adult education and specifically, catechist formation, through the Catechetical Institute of Saint Francis University in Steubenville,  OH.  At no cost to us individuals, we can access ‘tracks’ of videos on certain topics to gain insights, knowledge, and certification for serving in our parishes and schools.  Individual reflection and journaling are parts of the online classwork, but I am hoping that we can move into small groups to share the content of these sessions as a journey together for our diocese and our people.

I have begun the ‘Catechetical Mentorship’ track of formation so as to accompany others in their individual work online toward certification as they complete these training opportunities.  I hope you will join us and invite others to come along!  You do not need to be a catechist or a teacher yet to access and enjoy this formation in our faith.  You do need to identify your parish when you sign up, though!  Please follow these instructions:
