April 29, 2026 By Catherine Russell The department of Faith Formation’s LEAD and the Office of Formation For Ministry recently co-sponsored a Day of Reflection led by Adrian Dominican, Sister Janet Schaeffler. The day was made possible through the generosity of David Barosci at Bayard Publications. Catechists, catechetical leaders, commissioned lay ministers, others involved in parish ministry and candidates in the Formation For Ministry program were in attendance. The day consisted of presentations by Sister Janet, quiet time for reflection and discussion among the participants. Judging from the energy in the room, attendees enjoyed it and felt a renewed appreciation for their role as disciples and accompaniers and what that truly means. “Sister Janet’s presentation was spot on,” said Anita Soltero, assistant director of Faith Formation. “The exercises and group discussions were a great opportunity to explore where we each are in that process of accompaniment and discipleship, what we need to work on, and how to bring that presence to those we catechize and minister to.”
