    Pastor Weedon,
    Thank you for posting your catechesis schedule. It looks like an outline taken directly from the Catechism! Is that syllabus your own creation? Or does it follow a separate resource that you use? I currently use the Catechism as my resource, but am open to others that will guide that discussion. Your answer to those questions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Jeff,

    It is a study of the Catechism that I developed some years ago, based on some work a friend of mine had done. I have it all as a word doc, if you're interested.

    Very interested, thank you. Would you like to send it via email? Revcaithamer@hotmail.com is it if you would like. I am impressed that you are able to get so much covered in what appears to be so little time. Then again, from what I read in your blog, your visitors and members alike receive a rich supply of information and teaching constantly. They are much farther along than my visitors and parishioners! Thank you again.
