We’ve said it before here on Practicing Catholic and we’ll say it again: we are so blessed to have such strong leadership in our Archdiocese and the Archbishop’s recent pastoral letter has just proven again that our shepherd cares for us and listens to our needs. 

Part of the newly-revealed synod implementation plan (included in the pastoral letter) includes participation of “the 12” in the School of Discipleship through the Catechetical Institute. Here to give us some more insight into what exactly the School of Discipleship is Jeff Cavins, author, multi-media producer, and creator of the Great Adventure Bible Study and the Bible in a Year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz – both through Ascension Press.
