Welcome to another edition of BeingCatholic.

Treasures new and old! When you have to read 245 pages of Catholic magisterial
documents on a deadline then you’re bound to learn something!

This week I want to share what I did learn recently when preparing to deliver two
days of seminars for Catholic educators. It’s a powerful idea that can make a big
difference in the work many Catholic teachers are already doing.

The second article will soon be appearing in a Catholic magazine and explores the
power of how you speak in shaping your world.

In the coming weeks I am going to be giving you a great fortnightly podcast on
aspects of Catholic education and other various things of interest. I’ll keep them to
a few minutes and I hope they make a difference in the important work you do as
teachers or parents.

Make sure you have your say in the forums.

Best wishes,

Jonathan E Doyle
