Shift Parents from the Parking Lot to Participation

Why do some parents rely on religious education programs to be the primary providers of faith formation for their children?  How can catechists move parents from the parking lot to fuller participation?  This presentation will provide practical, applicable, inspirational and compassionate insights for “backdoor” evangelizing.

Dr. Patricia McCormack, IHM, is an international formation-education consultant and presently Program Director at the IHM Office of Formative Support for Parents and Teachers in Philadelphia.  Her 30 years in education includes both classroom and administration experience.  She is the author of numerous articles and several books.  In addition to her publications, Sr. McCormack’s full-time ministry includes conferences and retreats for parents, teachers, and catechists.
