LTP’s virtual training opportunities implement state-of-the-art technologies to bring convenient, expert training to pastoral ministers around the country. Informed by the adult education methods proven successful in live workshops, these opportunities offer liturgical ministers, catechists, and parish staffs access to engaging, professional presentations from the comfort of their home, office, or parish center.
Through the Adobe Connect platform, participants gather virtually for 90 minutes of training, dialogue, and reflection. Unlike most webinars, LTP’s virtual training opportunities invite participants to engage with the presenter and one another as they provide feedback, reflect on the topic at hand, and discuss strategies for increased engagement in their ministry.
