Parish Catechetical Leader (PCL) Track
This all-encompassing three-part series of workshops addresses the spiritual, catechetical, relational, and philosophical topics essential to leadership in parish catechetical programs.

Additionally, this track addresses areas such as evangelization and its link to catechesis, catechetical program organization and assessment, working with people with diverse cultural backgrounds, serving those with special needs, and fostering the vocational discernment and spiritual formation of others.
