This week and next week are going to be super busy for me as we prepare to train and form almost 200 catechists in our Fall Specialization Series. Please keep the catechists, facilitators, and families in your prayers. I will have more to say next week.

This trusty planner just got even better with more pages and more resources. It includes:

• Complete 12-month planner: two pages for each month, September through August, with saints days, feast days, and plenty of space for personal reminders.
• How to build a lesson plan: practical tips plus a reproducible lesson plan format to outline each lesson.
• Catholic essentials: beliefs, practices, and a convenient easy-reference liturgical year calendar.
• Student data: a chart for student information plus an attendance grid for up to 36 weeks.
• Personal inspiration: Sunday Gospel quotations with questions for personal reflection.
