Members of The Apostolate for Family Consecration will be traveling to Baltimore to give a multimedia presentation on their “Interactive Family Catechism” and “Family Catechesis Evangelization Program” to the U.S. Bishops during their annual fall assembly on
Nov. 10-13.
Family Apostolate members hope to share these easy and efficient methods to empower the parents of this internet generation to be the primary educators of the Faith to their children. The “Interactive Family Catechism”, in particular, would bring authentic Catholic teaching supported by commentaries by Francis Cardinal Arinze within parents’ fingertips. The “Interactive Family Catechism” and “Family Catechesis Evangelization Program” are available in both English and Spanish at www.familycatechism.com and www.familyland.org, respectively.
Both programs center around “The Apostolate’s Family Catechism,” a simple yet complete presentation of the faith supported by Sacred Scripture, the “Catechism of the Catholic Church”, Vatican II, papal and other Church documents and spiritual writings.
The seminar covers practical ways to help families bring Scripture into their daily lives using “The Apostolate’s Family Catechism.” The seminar also teaches how to spread the truths of our Faith using Francis Cardinal Arinze’s commentaries on topics found in the Family Catechism, available free online.
Presentations will be held in the Marriot Baltimore Waterfront Grand Ballroom, Parlor IV. On both Tuesday, Nov. 11, and Wednesday, Nov. 12, presentations will be given accompanied by a meal from 6:30-7:30 a.m., 7:45-8:45 a.m., 12:45-1:45 p.m., and 5:30-6:30 p.m. In addition, three presentations accompanied by refreshments will be held during the evening on Wednesday, Nov. 12, from
7:00-8:00 p.m., 8:15-9:15 p.m., and 9:30-10:30 p.m. Private meetings and training sessions may also be scheduled throughout the week.
