Welcome
Welcome to the Archdiocese of Dubuque CAFFE program!
Thank you for registering for the Comprehensive Adolescent Faith Formation Education (CAFFE) program.
CAFFE dates:
Monday, February 25
Monday, March 18
Monday, April 29
Monday, May 20
Meeting Times: 9:00am - 3:00pm
Location: Heartland Acres Agribition Center (2600 Swan Lake Blvd.), Independence, IA
ACRE testing
As a part of the program, we are strongly encouraging each parish/cluster to assess the teens of their programs with the Assessment of Catechesis/Religious Education (ACRE). We are asking you to select a date between January 30 and March 13 for your participants to take the test. It takes up to six weeks to get the results, so we need all completed score sheets by our March 18 session. Once you select the date, we will ensure that you have the correct number of scoring sheets and booklets for each grade level.
In order to get the test materials to you as quickly as possible, we do need some information from you:
1. The number of 9th graders you would like to test (priority).
2. The number of 5th graders you would like to test (optional).
3. The number of 11th graders you would like to test (optional)
4. The date you would like to give the test.
Payment Due
We are asking parishes/clusters for a small portion of the total costs ($150 per parish/cluster). Once we complete the ACRE test orders we will send each of you an invoice for the amount you owe. There is no need to cover the $150 registration fee until you receive your invoice. Your invoice will reflect the $150 program fee plus the cost of the ACRE assessment ($2 per person).
Reading Assignments Prior to our first session in February, please read two documents. If you have a laptop or tablet, please bring electronic copies of these documents to our first session. Otherwise, please print them out to bring with you.

Session One Queries
This blog will be used
to initiate conversation between members of your cohort group (CAFFE
participants with similar sized parish). We will use the blog to post
discussion questions about our readings and the content of our
sessions. Each cohort has an individual site for discussion.
Please post at least once between sessions. You may post as often as you like! We will monitor the discussion to ensure everyone is participating. We will also use content of discussion to help direct future sessions.
For this month's session, please respond to the following before February 25:
1) What led you to sign up for the CAFFE program?
2) What is your role in your parish's Faith Formation or Youth Ministry program? How long have you been involved?
3) What do you hope to gain from CAFFE? What do you hope will be covered in our sessions?
Thank you!
