Connecting Catholic Families with the Bible A Workshop for Parish Leaders Would you like to see Scripture become a more vital part of your lifelong faith formation? Do you want to help your parish families break open the Word of God at home? CMD is offering a national workshop series in 2010 designed to provide parish leaders with skills, strategies and resources to bring Catholic families and the Bible together. Join us in exploring Church documents on Scripture and how they relate to family life. Learn how to help your families become biblically literate. Discover six different ways families can interpret the meaning of Scripture and apply it to their own lives. Leave with a rich collection of ideas and resources for engaging families with the Word of God.

Parish Training in Lifelong Faith Formation Faith Growth for ALL Ages and Generations
Over 1500 parishes have developed an innovative approach to lifelong faith formation that is centered in the events of church life, embraces all ages and generations, and promotes faith growth at home. Through training, consulting, coaching, and supportive resources, we can equip your parish staff and volunteer leadership with the knowledge, skills, tools, and program resources for creating lifelong faith formation for the whole parish community.

Solid Formation and Practical Implementation for the Catechetical Leader
Have you ever wondered that if you are so busy with the details and logistics of your parish's catechetical programs that you might forget the big picture, the why behind what you are doing? If so, consider joining us in remembering the why of catechesis. The National Institute in Lifelong Faith Formation is the Center for Ministry Development's national in-depth training program for catechetical leaders. The courses in the Institute, which are offered every summer, provide solid catechetical formation as well as practical implementation strategies for nurturing lifelong catechesis in the parish.
Families and Faith
Lifelong Faith Formation Begins at Home
Since 1987, CMD has been involved in creating new approaches to nurturing family faith. We have a two-fold emphasis: 1) to develop family-friendly parish communities and 2) to nurture family faith at home.
