SUMMARY:Lay Catechist Training 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:A Catechist is a lay person authorized to prepare persons for Baptism\, Confirmation\, Reception\, and the Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows. They function under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Their work is deeply important in expanding discipleship within a congregation. \nThe course is designed to not just cover faith formation for children\, youth\, and adults\, but also invites participants to consider\, “What does it look like to offer congregational formation?” Throughout the course we will evaluate and adapt curriculum that is already available to meet their contexts. By course end\, each participant will have designed a program that they will offer to the congregation in the year ahead. \nEach meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on the 4th Monday of the month on Zoom. Below are the dates and subjects for each class. Applicants must attend all six sessions and complete a project to be licensed. Applications will close July 18\, 2025. The six sessions include: \n\nAugust 25\, 2025\, 6:00 PM – Faith Formation for Children & Youth\nSeptember 22\, 2025\, 6:00 PM – Faith Formation with Adults\nOctober 27\, 2025\, 6:00 PM – Formation in Congregational Life\nNovember 24\, 2025\, 6:00 PM – Curriculum Review and Development\nJanuary 26\, 2026\, 6:00 PM – Baptism and Confirmation\nFebruary  23\, 2026\, 6:00 PM – Project Review and Presentation\n\nIn addition to registering for the course\, applicants also need a Lay License Nomination form completed by the priest in charge at their congregation. Please complete the registration below.\nRegister Here \nRegistrants will receive an email with more details on the training at the end of July.

SUMMARY:Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training - November 12\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The diocese offers quarterly workshops for Eucharistic Visitors. These learning sessions will serve as a resource for prospective congregation-based trainers and Eucharistic Visitors. Whether you are a novice\, interested in being a trainer\, or a seasoned Eucharistic Visitor\, opportunities abound to learn more\, develop\, or improve skills\, and become more proficient in how we serve God and the church. \nHow we become involved in the church’s ministry as Eucharistic Visitors varies. For some\, an inner sense tells us\, “This is what I ought to do\,” For some\, our clergy asks us about becoming involved in this ministry. Others may be requested by their priest\, deacon\, or warden to fill a need in the congregation. Beyond how we begin our involvement in lay ministry\, God’s reality calls us to do so. Jesus’ words to his first disciples also apply to us: “You did not choose Me; I chose you.” [John 15:16] \nThe workshop will include conversations around What Does It Mean to Care\, Small Group Role-Play/Case Studies\, Eucharistic Visitor Preparation\, and Reporting and Tracking Eucharistic Visitations. The Rev. Canon Nancy R. Holland\, Deacon\, will convene and lead the workshop at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in El Cajon from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, with two short breaks and a 30-minute midday break. \nYou are expected to read and study two books in advance of the training: With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life by Henry Nouwen and A Manual for Eucharistic Visitors by Beth Wickenberg Ely. Financial assistance is available. Have questions or need additional information? Please contact Deacon Nancy at hollandnc46@gmail.com or 619.823.8998. There is no cost to attend. \nRequirements for Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training \n\nCommunicate with clergy at home congregation to express interest in Lay Eucharistic Visitor training.
