Catechism in a Year(ish)
2025-10-06 18:00 - 19:00 | Our Lady of Angels – Randolph, 43 Hebard Hill Rd, Randolph, VT, United States
Using the podcasts from Fr. Mike Schmitz, we will (slowly) read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For those who would prefer to move at a slower pace and discuss the material in a small group, we will review two (or so) episodes together each week.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church details the doctrine, dogma, and the basic tenets of the Church. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes, what she celebrates, what she lives and what she prays, the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith.
In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God… — Pope St. John Paul I
Beginning the week of September 10th, come to the “Year(ish)” discussion group, where we will listen together to one or two of the Catechism in A Year podcast, and then take time to discuss the material together! Our goal is to understand and love more deeply the Church, and the founder of our Church, Jesus!
Our Lady of the Angels: Mondays 6:00 -7:00 pm
St. John the Evangelist: Thursdays 9:45 – 10:45 am
There is no cost for this discussion group, but it is recommended that you acquire a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church for your own use.

Check-In & Training for Churches in Transition
2025-10-07 20:00
Dr. Lovett H. Weems Jr., senior consultant at the Lewis Center for Church Leadership, identifies four key stages during pastoral transition: Leaving begins when a pastor learns they will be moving to a new ministry and continues through the relocation day.

While the change of formal position may be marked by a date, transition is largely an internal and emotional process for everyone involved. The Start-Up Period usually lasts from six to eighteen months, as the pastor builds credibility and grows in understanding of God’s calling for the congregation’s next faithful step. The First Chapter is a multi-year period of pastoral ministry shaped by mutual discernment.
