Educational Catholic Workshops Direct to You

Ave Maria Press is bringing professional development workshops directly to parish ministers by using online technology. Anyone interested in free parish ministry workshops should head over to Ave Maria Press for their online series.

These WEBinars offer participants the opportunity to listen to the host, view their presentation and offer questions through a chat component.  During the first five months of the year, Ave Maria Press is producing 10 WEBinars on a variety of topics targeted to parish ministry.  Registration is free and each workshop lasts an hour.

A recent WEBinar, “Catholic Moms: Building and Sustaining Small Groups to Support the Vocation of Motherhood” was hosted by CatholicMom.com founder, Lisa Hendey. This workshop offered the participants details on how Catholic Moms want to be supported by their parish, tips on organizing the parish group and supplied resources to enhance the group’s success.  Through the question and answer at the end, she addressed specific problems in dealing with rural parishes, answered technology questions and stressed the importance of being inclusive to all women in the parish.

Topics for upcoming WEBinars at Ave Maria Press include;

·      Technology Tips for Religious Educators

·      Pastoral Leadership in the Christian Community

·      Digital Ministry and Social Media

·      Teens and Chastity:  Implementing the USCCB’s New Document, Catechetical Formation in Chaste Living

·      Economic Stewardship: Catholics Spending and Acting Justly

For the workshops you might have already missed, the recorded audio is offered free online for convenient listening anytime.
