Meet John Roberto!

Prophetic voice in catechesis and youth ministry, author, presenter, leader and friend

With the Staff of the CENTER FOR MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT: Tom East, Mariette Martineau, Joan Weber, Leif Kehrwald, Sean Lansing, Anne Marie Echert, and Cheryl Tholcke

John Roberto is one of those leaders in today's church without whom all our lives would be very different. Inspired by the clarion call for the reform of faith formation, John and his team at CMD set about to do just that. With vision and patience, they worked in parishes just like yours to experiment and test -- and the results have been stupendous. Faith formation is now seen as the work of the whole parish community, thanks in large part to the consistent voice of John Roberto. We owe him a big THANKS.

John is now retired from CMD but continuing his work to start and sustain lifelong catechesis in the church. He serves now as Managing Editor of Lifelong Faith a quarterly journal on the theory and practice of lifelong faith formation. See below for his web site.
