We are so exicited to share this new resource with you!! If you haven't read through the Learn More page and the Join a Small Group page yet, we invite you to do so. As you read through the webpages for Conversion, please contact us in the Office of Parish Support if you have any questions.
Depending on your computer and tv, you may be able to plug your computer into one of your tv's HDMI inputs. This way you could go to the videos here on our website on your computer and 'project' what's on your computer screen to your tv.
You could also plug your computer into a projector and project the video onto a wall or projector screen.
If you are looking for another solution or have questions, please contact Joe Klapatch in the Office of Parish Support at jklapatch@htdiocese.org | (985) 850-3155.
A password is needed for the videos. You can obtain that password from your Adult Formation Team. You can also obtain it by contacting Joe at the Office of Parish Support.
To help us unpack and process the content presented each week, we have created a written resource that accompanies each week's session.
A 5-page weekly Homework Companion is provided for each week's session. This companion includes 5 meditations - one for each weekday: Mon-Fri - that will help us unpack and process what we heard presented in that week's video. In the videos, Fr. Mark will call this companion 'our homework' for the week. You can find and download this 5-page PDF under each session's videos.
We have also included a short video that accompanies the written companion for each week. This short video from Fr. Mark will aid us in working through the companion for each week. You can find that video under the main session video for each week.
We are working on putting all the weekly companions into a small one-volume paperback book. We hope to have this one volume Companion available mid-Lent. Check back for purchasing details. We will send an email to all parish Adult Formation Teams when the Companions become available. Until then, feel free to download the weekly 5-page companions under each week's' video.
We have filmed a number of videos to help you - the facilitator / small group leader - in facilitating your small group.
Below you will find links to each video. Click on the video image to be brought to that particular video.
There is one video of Fr. Mark giving an overview of Conversion as a whole. Among other things, this video will help you understand the purpose of the series and how it fits into 'The 5' - the Formation Life Cycle. We invite you to watch this video to get a good understanding of the program as a whole.
There are six more videos of Fr. Mark giving an overview of each of the six sessions. In each video, Fr. Mark also gives tips and encouragements for that particular session. We invite you to watch each session's facilitator video prior to meeting with your group for that particular session.
We also invite you to watch the whole of each session itself before watching it with the group. This will give you a chance to process and pray with the material yourself beforehand, and will aid you in being most prepared to anticipate questions, etc.
