Dear Pastoral Assistants of Faith Formation and Catechists,
August is a month in which we dedicate ourselves to developing our plans and begin the processes/programs for our families in our parishes and we take this occasion to take a breather and renew our energy and passion for our ministry.
I remind you to go to our resource page and visit the pages of our publishing companies who have made an effort to update their content and emphasize the importance of family catechesis. The archdiocese constantly checks that the companies are on the conformity list of the USCCB. Click here to find these links.
I also take this opportunity to inform you that I have accepted a position as director of pastoral ministries in a parish family and my last day in the Chancery will be at the end of August. I have had the honor of working with you who form part of a group of people with a strong faith and a deep love for passing it on and offering opportunities to have a personal experience with the Lord in every parish I have been in contact with.
Your effort as a witness, your dedication, and pastoral service have been an inspiration and have helped me to grow personally, intellectually, and spiritually. Thank you so much for being a part of my journey and service during these seven years and I trust that the person who takes this position will continue the work and take it to the next step. I will miss you greatly, but I know that I count on with your prayers.
God bless you always and continue to evangelize, catechize and bring more people to an intimate encounter with the Lord.
With kind regards,
Carlos Carrillo
Director of the Department of Lifelong Formation
