I'm doing something I haven't done before. I'm teaching part of a Scripture course for some of our Upper School students, and I'm having a great time! I've been teaching the Scriptures to adults here in the parish for many years, and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to teach in a high school setting. The chairman of our Theology Department put the pressure on, though, and I'm glad he did. The students are responsive, and it's nice to get to know them in a setting other than the confessional or at Mass.
The diary of a priest, being random thoughts and various things of possible interest from the Pastor of Our Lady of the Atonement Church in San Antonio, Texas.

"All right, students. Listen carefully..."

Do you got to grade papers as well? :)
No, I have underlings to do that sort of thing... :)
When we teach high school age Catholic children, invariably we are far more blest by the experience than we would have imagined. I have always found them to have an energy and a commitment to the Faith that excites me about the future of the Church. I hope, Father, you will have wonderful experiences teaching the high school students. They are so very blest to have you for their instructor.
