PCL Survey

Each parish catechetical leader (directors and coordinators of religious education and youth ministry, etc.), whether paid or volunteer, is asked to complete the online survey found here. A portion of the results are made available here as a directory of parish catechetical leaders from the Diocese of Madison.

Resources for Parish Catechetical Leaders

Probably the most significant work of the diocesan Office of Evangelization and Catechesis is directed at assisting parish catechetical leaders in their efforts. (The OEC also coordinates some diocesan-wide faith formation opportunities available to all people of the diocese.) This page focuses on resources specifically pertinent to parish catechetical leaders.

“And may the world of our time...be enabled to receive the Good News not from evangelizers who are dejected and discouraged...but from ministers of the Gospel whose lives glow with fervor, who have first received the joy of Christ." (Pope Paul VI, Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii nuntiandi, 80)

A special page has been created to maintain an archive of results from the regional gatherings of parish catechetical leaders, as well as an outline of what's coming in future series. That page can be accessed here. Please register online for the May 2008 regional gatherings.
