From staff reports
Helping catechists, parents and their children deal with challenges of today’s culture will be the focus of a workshop that noted speaker and author Dr. Lauri Przybysz will present March 11 in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral Parish, 61 Georgia Rd, Freehold.
Hosted by the diocesan Department of Catechesis, the daylong conference will begin with a Mass to be celebrated at 9 a.m. by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M. The catechetical presentations will follow in the parish center, during which Dr. Przybysz will also address positive strategies and tools to assist families including a review of RCL Benziger’s Family Life program. The program is currently used in the Diocese of Trenton curriculum for forming young people who will recognize and build holy and healthy relationships throughout their lives.
Dr. Przybysz is the executive director of the Christian Family Movement-USA, part of an international confederation of Catholic life movements. In 2012, she received a doctor of ministry degree in pastoral ministry from The Catholic University of America, Washington, specializing in marriage and family enrichment. She has also taught in Catholic schools. As coordinator for Marriage and Family Life in the Archdiocese of Baltimore from 2001 to 2015, she led implementation and catechist training for healthy relationships and safe environment education for children and youth. She is president-elect of the National Association of Family Life Ministers, and she is also education director for Catholics for Family Peace, an initiative at CUA’s National Catholic School of Social Service that promotes a Catholic response to domestic violence.
Dr. Przybysz and her husband, John, are a sponsor couple for marriage prep in their parish in Millersville, Md., and they have spoken on encouraging “the Church in the home” at the Pontifical Council on the Family in Rome and at family life conferences in the United States, Europe, Latin America and India. Her articles on marriage and family spirituality appear on the U.S. Bishops’ “For Your Marriage” website. Her website is www.familyministryresources.com. Dr. Przybysz is the mother of six children and has 21 grandchildren.
