From the Heart

Jim Reed

Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

This veteran educator and parish catechist observes that everyone teaches by their actions, words and attitudes. By your sincerity, enthusiasm and connection with those you are forming, you can be “the lesson you want to teach”.

Called, Chosen, Sent

Thomas Smith

Understanding the Jewish culture and background of the Christian Gospels can unlock many words and works of Jesus.  “Come Follow Me” is much more than an invitation; unlocking its meaning will give us the confidence to follow him, even if we fall or fail.  Using his own journey, Thomas will explore some key ways to faithfully and fruitfully sharing our faith with others.

Thomas brings a wealth of experience and insight on the Word of God to audiences across the U.S.  Thomas has taught as an adjunct professor at the St. Francis School of Theology in Denver, served as Director of the Denver Catholic Biblical School and the Denver Catechetical School and is a cofounder the Philippine Catholic Biblical Mission Foundation.

Responiendo al llamado

Padre Ernesto Caro

Lo mas importante es que la gente se dé cuenta de la importancia de la oración y de la escucha atenta de la Pal abra de Dios. Que sepa que para todas nuestras decisiones, debemos consultar a Dios y no dejarnos ir solo por nuestros apetitos o nuestros pensamientos y criterios, los cuales generalmente están ya muy dañados por el trato cotidiano con el mundo.
