Getting Started

Getting Started is a program of the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis of the Diocese of Madison designed especially for those who are new (or relatively new) to their position as administrator of a parish program of catechesis or youth apostolate. Getting Started focuses on providing practical, concrete connection to the resources, personnel, and policies provided by the diocese to assist parish catechetical leaders in their vital parish mission.
