THE CATECHIST CAFE

Welcome from Tom Burns, MA, LMHC

Welcome to The Catechist Café, a site designed for all interested Catholic adults, especially catechists, religious educators, church workers and volunteers. The Café is a site for continuing education, communication, professional development, support, and conversation--and a place to enjoy your coffee!
Get your update on new posts through the Cafe's Facebook page.

The next full post will appear around May 25 as I am taking a little sabbatical.
