Warner sponsors Catholic institute

he Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development will sponsor its annual institute on Catholic education July 8 and 9. This year's sessions, which include lectures, group discussions, and social conversation, are geared toward the theme "Catholic Education: A Community for Life."

Now in its 15th year, the Institute of Catholic Education is designed for teachers, school administrators, youth ministers, church members, parents, and others with an interest in Catholic education. More than 1,500 people have participated in the institute since its inception.

The first keynote speaker, Carole Eipers, director of catechetics for publisher William Sadlier, will discuss how schools can help form strong communities. Eipers, who will speak Thursday, July 8, has served in parish ministries for more than 20 years.

Loughlan Sofield, a member of the Missionary Servant of the Most Holy Trinity, will open the institute's Friday, July 9, program with an address on Catholic schools and communities.

Rochester-area educators will lead sessions on a range of topics from strengthening academic achievement to dealing with differences among student learners.

All sessions will be held at the Holiday Inn Airport on Brooks Avenue in Rochester. Registration is $198 ($220 after June 22) and includes materials, refreshments, and luncheons. An optional tour and dinner in Rochester's High Falls district is planned for July 8. Group rates and housing also are available. To register or for more information, contact the Warner School at x5-7833.
