This workshop will share the research about Gen Z youth and their families along with effective ways for parishes to engage. We will include practical ideas and starting points within these topics as we explore the ministry implications for youth ministry, catechesis, sacramental preparation and parish life:
  • Listening to and Walking with Gen Z Youth
  • Engaging their Parents and Families
  • Making it Personal through Relationships and Formation
  • Empowering the Innovators – Letting their Faith Soar
  • Transforming Ministries and Creating New Pathways
The workshop is designed for all those ministries that touch the lives of adolescents—including pastors, deacons, pastoral associates, coordinators of youth ministry, leaders in faith formation, catechists, Confirmation preparation leaders, and service/social concerns leaders. *Cost of the workshop is $54, which includes handouts and lunch. For more information, contact Debra Hartshorn at (253) 853-5422 or debra@cmdnet.org. Or check out the sites and dates at www.cmdnet.org. ​

Catechetical Leader Retreat
Thursday, June 14th – Friday, 15th 2018
with Rev John Rose

A Revolution of Tenderness:
Mercy, Ministry & Accompaniment

How does the walk to Emmaus mirror the importance of meeting people ‘where they are at’ in a judgement free zone? 
Who has accompanied you and how can that experience be a paradigm for your own ministry? 
Come, make time to relax in the Spirit, in the quiet, in the sharing, in the presence of GOD and one another.
Give yourself the gift of renewal!
