What’s New?What’s New? Save the date… A new presenternew presenter , new style, to help re-new YOU! Catherine Cooney is quite an eclectic gem in our region. Her background ranges from graduating with a religion major to receiving a masters in Biological Science. She holds a Masters in Religion and is an RN in Nursing. Talk about bringing the academic world into the spiritual world!!!! You will find her workshop to be both spiritually uplifting as well as academic. She has a very strong background in world history which she uses to bring learners into a deeper understanding of inter-relational aspects of Eastern and Western Rites, Jewish roots to Christianity and Biblical reference. Cathy was very assuring that not only does she teach to the participants, but then follows through with "Okay, now, how can this be used in your lessons for catechesis?". Her debut course will take place March 16th, so mark the date! We will have more details about the course title, description, and place in the very near future! (It is in the process of being built!) Introducing a new Catecheticalnew Catechetical LeaderLeader ……Patricia (Tricia) L. Pennise St. Helena’s Church Coordinator of Faith Formation & Youth Ministry says… My name is Patricia Pennise, and I am the new Coordinator of Faith Formation at St. Helena’s Church in Sherrill. I have been a Catechist at St. Helena’s for 6 years and have enjoyed working with the children in our faith formation program. Last spring I began meeting with several teens in our parish, with the goal of starting a youth group . Our youth group, named Generation 4.12 (based on the verse from 1 Timothy 4.12), has been meeting twice a month since October. I am also the Chairperson for St. Helena’s Pastoral Council. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY Potsdam and a Master’s Degree in Education from SUNY Cortland, and am a certified elementary teacher in NYS. I also earned my Basic Catechetical certification a few years ago. I am happily married to Andrew (Andy) Pennise, and together we have three children, Patrick (15), Sarah (6) and Matthew (4) and a cat named Boots. We reside in Oneida. Andy and I made a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend last June, and are members of the Central City Core in Syracuse. When I am not busy at home with my family or at church with the youth, I enjoy scrapbooking and karate. I have a green belt in karate, and I hope to earn my black belt within the next 1 ½ years. I also spend time with the Girl Scouts as a Daisy Leader. I am very excited about my role as Coordinator of Faith Formation for St. Helena’s, and am grateful to Father Mesmer for giving me this opportunity. My parish community is very welcoming and helpful, and I look forward to serving them in this ministry. And last but not least… our new Director of Faith Formationnew Director of Faith Formation , , Andrea Andrea SlavenSlaven…CONGRATULATIONS!
