Hope for the World:  Catechesis that forms Missionary Disciples

As Catholics, our Scripture and Tradition call us over and over again to bring hope to those who are living on the margins of society. The presentation will explore practical ways parish catechetical leaders can integrate care for the poor and vulnerable seamlessly into their formation programs.

The ministry of compassion and social justice is not meant just for a few parishioners, but for all the faithful. Workshop will include simple hands-on experiences of faith in action.

Dr. Kristin Witte has taught in a Catholic elementary school, worked as a college campus minister, parish youth minister, and for the Archdiocese of Baltimore as the coordinator of pastoral care and social justice. Having earned three master’s degrees, Kristin completed her Doctorate in Ministry with an emphasis in Pastoral Counseling from the Catholic University of America . Kristin currently serves as the coordinator of Catechetical and Catholic Educational Engagement at CRS.
