Catholic School Teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\nDid you know that year after year, studies find that close to 75% of the newly ordained first considered being a priest before 18 years of age? This statistic emphasizes the absolute necessity to encourage vocations early in life. To inspire more youth to hear God\u2019s call, Vocation Ministry created a fresh and innovative approach to present the joy of holy vocations to our youth in their everyday environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new education-based workshops are informational and fast-paced based on the proven success of Vocation Ministry\u2019s parish-based workshops. They are designed to encourage, inspire, and equip Catholic educators to create a vocation-friendly environment in their classrooms. One Toledo teacher said, \u201cI loved the practical ideas that you gave us. It wasn\u2019t just theory or a lecture, and the ideas are reasonable and doable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically, a teacher workshop will occur after a principal workshop and can be set up as a one to three-hour session. The one-hour workshop includes Q & A. A two-hour+ workshop can include a brainstorming breakout session by grade level. Optional follow-up workshops are available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
