In the spirit of this year's Catechetical Sunday theme “Open the Doors of Faith,” Lee Nagel, Executive Director for the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership, will share the seven key elements in creating an environment that engages those present and facilitates an encounter with the Risen Christ.

These elements include:

1. Preparedness: Open Your Mind to What God is Offering; Then Stop, Look, and Listen
2. Balance: Ritual and Novelty, Comfort and Challenge, Safety and Risk
3. Prime the Pump, Make Connections, Engage the Senses, Activate Learning Styles
4. Seven-Minute Chunks with Catholic Service Announcements
5. Quiet Moments for Reflection
6. Review
7. Go Forth Blessed

All viewers will receive practical pointers and useful techniques that are immediately applicable to any environment.
