As Disciples on the Way, we continue deepening our friendship with Jesus Christ through the Regional Discipleship Formation Seminars. These one-day seminars are designed to help key parish volunteer leaders understand the challenges in forming disciples of Jesus Christ and the connection between evangelization, catechesis, parish life, and mission within the discipleship process.
As part of the journey into discipleship and in response to Pope Francis' call to be "missionary disciples," Bishop Ricken has asked all key parish volunteer leaders to attend a Regional Discipleship Formation Seminar. These volunteer leaders include trustees, chairs of the parish council, finance council, education committee, worship committee, evangelization committee, and others the pastor/pastoral leader designates.
The Discipleship Formation Seminar will explain the common opposition to forming disciples of Jesus Christ, as well as the relationship between evangelization, catechesis, parish life, and mission in the discipleship process.
The seminars, including lunch, refreshments, and resources, are free through a generous grant from the Catholic Foundation.
"Pope Francis, in keeping with the emphasis of the four popes who preceded him, has called us to be 'missionary disciples' who provide witness to the Gospel in our homes, our communities and the world."

"I dream of a 'missionary option' -- that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today's world..."
