DESIGNING PARISH FAITH FORMATION FOR ALL AGES
POST-PANDEMIC & BEYOND
The experience of the pandemic has disrupted all of life, including the ways that we have done catechesis and faith formation. As we emerge into the post-pandemic world, we can plan for the future of parish catechesis and faith formation to be better than before.
Pastors and pastoral leaders are asking:
• How have our people been changed by the pandemic? What new needs and hungers have emerged? How can we respond to these needs?
• How do we build on the approaches and tools we used that were effective during the pandemic? How do we sustain our innovations into the future?
• Where are the new opportunities for catechesis and formation? What is possible now?
• How do we build more responsive, effective catechesis and faith formation for the future?
• What can a renewed and transformative catechesis and faith formation look like for my parish as we emerge from the pandemic in 2021 and beyond?
TO HELP PASTORS AND THEIR PASTORAL LEADERS ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND ASSIST THEM IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THEIR CATECHETICAL AND FAITH FORMATION PROGRAMMING, THE ARCHDIOCESE IS PROVIDING A TWO-PHASE PROCESS:
PHASE 1
A Webinar Series “Catholic Faith Formation in a Post-Pandemic World: Designing Faith for 2021 and Beyond”
A Webinar Series to help jump-start ideas and possibilities for parishes in every deanery. The series will be led by experienced nationally-known trainers and provide opportunities for interaction and application to specific situations. Each webinar is 90 minutes, will be conducted on Zoom, and is free of charge to all participants in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Download the Webinar Series details (PDF) or see all the webinar details here.
Presentaciones selectas y seguimiento en español empezaran el mes de agosto.

Although each webinar stands alone, we encourage parishes to participate in the complete webinar series to get a full view of the range of possibilities and potential for all aspects of their parish catechesis and faith formation.
PHASE 2
Follow-Up Accompaniment
Most importantly, as parishes participate in these webinars, there will be follow-up accompaniment from one or more members of the Department for Pastoral Ministries on-site for each parish to help actualize the vision and goals for transformation in catechesis and faith formation as expressed by the pastor and his leadership. This assistance and accompaniment from the Department for Pastoral Ministries would be ongoing for all participating parishes.
