SUMMARY:Cultivating Encounter with Christ for Every Student\, Diocese of Austin\, Spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Overview\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause God has already revealed his love fully in Jesus Christ\, the heart of catechesis is not about making the faith “accessible\,” but about clearing away the obstacles that can get in the way of a real encounter with Him. The teachings of the Church flow from the simple and radiant truth of who Christ is. This Workshop encourages teachers to move toward confidently and joyfully handing on the fullness of the faith in a way that leads to wonder\, worship\, and conversion in a way that is inclusive to all learners. \n\n\n\nThis Workshop blends scholar presentations with interactive pedagogical sessions\, giving you a chance to explore content with a respected scholar\, as well as explore and simulate practical teaching strategies with ready-to-use classroom materials. Share best practices and enjoy catered breakfast and lunch with your fellow Diocese of Austin teachers. \n\n\n                    \n                        Join Waiting List\n                    \n                 \n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n        \n        \n                            \n                    \n                        \n                            \n                                9:00-9:30am                             \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                 Breakfast and Check-In                             \n                            \n                                                             \n                        \n                    \n                \n                            \n                    \n                        \n                            \n                                9:30-9:45am                             \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                Program Introduction                             \n                            \n                                                             \n                        \n                    \n                \n                            \n                    \n                        \n                            \n                                9:45-10:15am                             \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                Removing Barriers with Music and Art                             \n                            \n                                Music and art possess a unique capacity to speak to the human heart across cultures and generations.
