On Good Soil

Questions & Answers with Cullen Schippe, Publisher

"Some seed falls on good soil, that is among men and women who are open to a personal relationship with God and who are in solidarity with their neighbor. This seed brings forth fruit in great abundance."
(General Directory for Catechesis, #15)

What is On Good Soil?

Benziger's On Good Soil is a tool to help you and your parish do an even better job of planting, watering and growing the seed of faith in the lives of all those you touch. It is designed to help you renew the catechetical ministry of your parish. It has its origins in the General Directory for Catechesis, and its heart in the Sacred Scriptures.

Why did Benziger create On Good Soil?

After the publication of the General Directory for Catechesis, Benziger Publishing undertook a series of conversations to renew our catechetical ministry. We have made the results of our conversations available to you in an exciting and simple process for you, your parish and your catechetical team.

Benziger is so committed to this renewal process and to what we are calling Total Parish Catechesis (TPC), that we have developed On Good Soil.

What is included in the On Good Soil kit?

When you request On Good Soil, you will receive a kit that includes the following:

  • A ten-minute video setting the stage for your parish conversations
  • A parish manual containing an introduction to the process
  • Reproducible worksheets for up to four conversations
  • Strategies for sharing your work with the whole parish
  • A feedback form
  • Meditations based on the General Directory for Catechesis to support and nourish you conversations
  • Two large posters to announce the process to your parish community
  • A gift from Benziger

How will On Good Soil benefit a parish or school?

Through On Good Soil you will find that a series of four simple and faith-filled conversations can make a difference in you parish programming. We at Benziger want to help you look for and affirm the seed which has fallen on good soil, the real building blocks of your ministry.

What is the cost of On Good Soil?
