In this week’s episode of Talking Catholic, cohosts Marianela Nunez and Mike Bress welcome Dr. Lee DelleMonache, Director of Religious Education for the Diocese of Camden, and Kathy O’Callaghan, Principal of St. Peter School in Merchantville. Together, they explore how Catholic identity is being renewed and strengthened in South Jersey Catholic schools.
The conversation centers on the “Required, Inspired, and Desired” framework—an innovative model developed by the Office of Catholic Education to help educators intentionally form students in the faith. They also share how the Word on Fire video series has become a powerful tool for teachers and administrators alike.
