Forever Love: Jim Barrette
What does it look like to change the way we do church? To Jim Barrette, this could be the start, or even the continuation, of a change in the way we form people at all ages.
In this conversation, Bridget Richardson, Executive Producer of MAX Studios at University of St. Thomas-Houston, talks with Jim Barrette, Secretariat Director of Pastoral and Educational Ministries in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, about the marriage catechumenate. Jim shares how the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has been thinking about how to inspire lifelong marriage formation for a long time and how it will take a generation or two to see the catechumenate really take root.
This interview is bonus content from the Marriage Catechumenate Summit that took place at Circle Lake Retreat Center near Houston, Texas in June 2023. This continues a series of interviews with Catholic marriage experts in North America who attended the summit. A mini-documentary of the summit will be released at the end of the interview series.
