Dear friends in Christ,
Peace be with you, I pray you are well and that the love of God overflows from you to those around you.
 I mentioned last week that we were partnering with several other dioceses from around the southeast for the Southeast Catechist Conference and I am happy to share that registration is open. The timing of this event, August 12-15, is perfect for us and I know the talks and workshops will inspire our catechists and volunteers. Please encourage them to attend any of the workshops that catch their eye. Here are a few that look great to me:
- Start with Jesus: We the Missionary People, Julianne Stanz, Loyola Press
- Why YM? Evangelizing to Disaffiliated Teens, Mark Hart, Lifeteen
- Parents, It’s YOU – the Catechist, Joe Paprocki, Loyola Press
- El nuevo Directorio para la Catequesis: Un llamado a compartir la fe con espíritu renovado, alegre y misionero, Dr. Hosffman Ospino, Boston College

Also below, please find a link to the annual Parish Ministry Profile Survey. As I mentioned when I sent the last survey out, we are starting with a new schedule, one that coincides more naturally with the life of the parish. For this new survey, we are asking for numbers from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
Don’t worry if your numbers look different than in years past, that is to be expected. As we remain hopeful that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, it will be helpful to know more about the state of catechesis and evangelization in our diocese.
Also, I know that it isn’t trivial to complete this survey. Thank you very much in advance for your help and cooperation. As always, we welcome your feedback on how to make this survey better.
I kindly request that you complete the survey by July 30.

In Christ,
Daniel
