It's important to understand your audience in order to preach effectively. As an audience, children’s interests can inform homilies that would inspire anyone. Join us to gain a greater appreciation for the issues that children wonder about and their capacity for awe. Practice connecting the faith and liturgy to children’s everyday lives. Consider the importance of non-verbal communication in speaking to children’s hearts. This course is ideal for leaders of Liturgy of the Word for Children, as well as catechists, religious educators, or anyone else who works with children to nurture their faith. This workshop is based on the Boston College web site Touchstones for Preaching/ Special Touchstone – Preaching to Children.
