Catholic educators attend regional meetings to discuss future roles

Published: 2003-11-25

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Many Catholic educators across the country have been doing some extra homework this fall looking at where they want Catholic schools, religious education and campus ministry programs to be in the future. More than 100 regional meetings, sponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association, were scheduled from August to December and the findings from all of these meetings will be compiled for a symposium on Catholic education to be held Jan. 8-11 in Washington to mark NCEA's 100th anniversary. The results from that symposium will then be presented at the annual NCEA convention in Boston next April. About 90 Catholic educators attended one of the regional meetings Nov. 20-21 in Washington. Participants -- including faculty members, diocesan officials, catechetical and campus ministry leaders -- came from the dioceses of Wilmington, Del., Arlington and Richmond, Va., and Wheeling-Charleston, W.Va., and the Baltimore and Washington archdioceses.
