The annual convocation for parish catechetical leaders in the Diocese will take place as planned Oct. 22 from 9:30 a.m. to noon, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, participants will attend via computer.
The convocation will focus on how to engage families through faith formation in their parishes. The featured speaker will be Paul Canavese, director of the Pastoral Center, a family-owned business and ministry that assists colleagues in the pastoral ministry field.
“Paul will give some practical tools to engage families now and past the pandemic,” according to Denise Contino, director of the diocesan Department of Catechesis, the host of the convocation along with the Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries. Canavese will also discuss resources that the Diocese had purchased for all parishes.
Another highlight will be the presentation of the Chick McGinty Award for Excellence in Catechetical Leadership. The award is named after Rosemarie “Chick” McGinty, director of the diocesan Office of Catechesis from 1986 to 2003.
