2. Exploring Technology for Catechesis
Having trouble getting the word out about liturgical changes because one can never find a common time to attend workshops or continuing education? This workshop will explore ways in which to catechize the faithful and professional within a diocese or parish utilizing websites, blog spots, pod casting and other forms of innovative communication in this age of information.

3. Issues for New Diocesan Worship Directors
If you are new to diocesan liturgy work, come with your questions and talk with someone with 20 years experience: from bishop ordinations and funerals; to working with parish professionals and volunteers; to juggling multiple projects and ideologies; always keeping one's head above water. 

Ms. Vicki Klima was Director of the Worship Center for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis for close to 20 years.  She has a Master's Degree in Liturgy from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.  She is currently Director of Leadership Development at Pax Christi Catholic Community in Eden Prairie, MN and is a member of the FDLC Board of Directors.
