    STATIC Solutions the 21st century Baltimore Catechism

    What the Baltimore Catechism was for the 19th Century STATIC is for the 21st Century – it recognizes the basic needs and capacities of the local community and provides a process that quite simply works. I give the STATIC program and STATIC Solutions, LLC my highest recommendation.

    To Whom This May Concern
    STATIC Programming is an excellent program and I believe that every parish should be utilizing each and every dimension. St. Theodore of Canterbury parish has been using the STATIC programming exclusively for our Middle School students since the fall of 2004. What began as a process to challenge our students to take on a more adult attitude regarding their own faith lives provided not only an exceptional experience with a sound theological foundation; rich biblical principles and fruitful interpersonal dynamics; it also challenged their parents and general parish as well.
    After over 30 years of experience working with adolescents and pre-adolescents I went looking for a Religious Education process or program that would not only keep these older students from becoming bored but that would encourage their unique process in faith formation and learning. STATIC Small Group provides the process that not only teaches the students more about understanding and living their faith but in a way that allows them to interact with the information and with one another. The STATIC Large Group activities, which is more of a youth group based activities, gives the students a place to be in faith while having fun and in the whole process learning more about their faith and how to live it. And the program doesn’t just stop there. The journals for each grade level and the exceptional three years Service Process the possibilities are endless.
    STATIC Solutions LLC continues to come out each year with new and innovative ideas such as newsletters, retreats and more I know that we will be able to provide a vital, nurturing program for decades to come. What the Baltimore Catechism was for the 19th Century STATIC is for the 21st Century – it recognizes the basic needs and capacities of the local community and provides a process that quite simply works. I give the STATIC program and STATIC Solutions, LLC my highest recommendation. I remain,
    Your Servant in Christ,

The Church and the Public Square

The past month or so I have been asked or confronted with the statements about the Catholic faith. Most often from Catholics themselves. The questions range from the very basic to the very deep and for the most part the statements have almost always been anti-conservatism or pro-liberalism if you like. Me I look at [...]

It has been sometime between blogs as of late, it seems that I write with the intentions of getting back in to the daily routine of blogging everyday, but never seem to do it, something always seems to get in the way. For example, yester was I just had no ideas, the time before was [...]

Let us never forget….

Let us never forget the sacrifice of Americans in the fight for freedom. The firefighters and officers of the law, the office managers and the custodians alike. Let us never forget the lost of mom’s and dad’s in the fight for freedom, the aunts and uncles and the friends that never were.
Let us never [...]

Off My Chest….

Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the Pope does
– Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend

The above quote is from a feature article she wrote for Time.
As I sit here reading and enjoying my Labor day this quote jumped off the page of the latest issue of “Town Hall” magazine, a conservative political magazine. I have already read [...]

Burn Baby Burn!

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. — Mother Teresa
Simple logic, add oil to keep the flame. Oil is the food that feeds the fire. Same basic principle for an electric light, we must have electrical current for a light bulb to glow. The electricity is the fuel that [...]

Jesus, A Slave Master?

A friend and I have an ongoing joke about being liberal or conservative, I being the conservative. Today as we chatted online was no different, it always seems that one of us (mostly me) will some how manage to bring it around to being a liberal or a conservative.
It’s all in fun.. or is [...]

That Boy

It is the small things that we do that will have the greatest effect on others. The Gospel story from this past weekend proved that:
Gospel Jn 6:1-15 Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw [...]
