SPRED Enrichment Opportunities
Enrichment sessions provide an opportunity for catechists to grow and develop in areas of interest. This is a time of dialogue and reflection, a time for catechists to voice questions, concerns and ideas to move onward with new insight and inspiration. Your thoughts and input will continue to make SPRED strong, everywhere for our Special Friends.
Workshops
Catechist Workshops are opportunities to deepen your understanding of the SPRED process and the various roles enriching your contribution to your SPRED community. Catechists in any role are welcome at each. Each year the content changes based on questions and feedback from catechists. Workshops are typically scheduled in summer when SPRED is not in session at most parishes.
