“I wasn’t sure what the class would be but I love it and have a much better understanding 
of the Bible.”  - SLK

“I learned a great deal, it strengthened my faith and gave me ideas of how to integrate faith into my classes."  - TJ

“Everything I was hoping to talk about and learn and more.”

“I left with good ideas for our youth and for developing our youth program.”


“Felt more enriched every time I walked away for class.” -MB

"I learn as much (if not more) from the adults who take Methods A & B as I do preparing to teach the classes.  It's wonderful watching them share wisdom and ideas with each other as they grow to be better teachers and catechists."- DG
