Teaching Ministry for CBS Alums

Cathy deSimas, Class of 2004

Would you like to be considered for a new teaching ministry in the Archdiocese of Hartford? Are you a Catholic Biblical School (CBS) graduate?

You may have heard that CBS has a new, introductory program called Making Sense of the Bible. This six-week introduction to reading the Bible was piloted in five parishes throughout the Archdiocese in 2016-17 and has met with enthusiastic success. An updated version will be ready for wider use beginning in Fall 2017.

The program is modeled on the CBS core program and was designed by two Hartford Biblical School faculty members, Amy Ekeh and BJ Daly Horell. This short course is less intense than the four-year program, but it contains most of the educational practices of the CBS Core Program. Homework is minimal and, though strongly encouraged, is not mandatory.

The next teacher training is scheduled for Thursday, August 17, 1:00-4:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Seminary, Bloomfield in Conference Room C (second floor). Interested CBS graduates should contact BJ Daly Horell in the OEEC at (860) 242-5573, ext. 2679, to get more information and to indicate your desire to become a candidate in this ministry. At that time, we can talk at more length to discern mutually whether this might be a good “fit” for you at this time.
