WELCOME!

I hope these resources will help you nurture your small group, RCIA, adult faith and social justice parish ministries – my passions through many years of parish work.

You are welcome to use the Gospel reflection questions (at the right on this home page) in any way you'd like, without attribution.

 

WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE:

  • At the top right of this page, see reflection questions for the Gospels of the next four Sundays (and sometimes for holidays or feastdays that come up during the week). Use them for fruitful discussions in your small groups.
  • Discover more about the Gathered In His Name series for small church communities. Check the "Small Group Guides" menu at left. You’ll find synopses and sample questions from each meeting of every title in the series.
  • Soon you'll find additional leaders’ resources in the "Small Group Information" menu. These were ideas that could not be included in the Gathered In His Name  "Leader’s Guide" because of space restrictions.
  • Read articles I wrote for Church and Catechumenate magazines. Topics include RCIA sponsors, RCIA rituals, parish communications programs, leading a tour of the parish church/worship center, and “Faithful Citizenship” (written in 2004). You'll find them under the "Published Articles" menu.
  • Keep coming back! The reflection questions will be updated regularly, and more material will be added as the site develops.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
