We, the “new” affiliate, are very excited! We are the first affiliate to have two teams and are working very hard during our mentoring phase so that we may begin presenting programs in the fall of this year. Our affiliate is located in Northwestern Pennsylvania covering the Diocese of Erie. Our affiliate has been endorsed by Roman Catholic Bishop Donald Trautman.
We have 22 presenters being trained on both teams: 11 in Erie, PA and 11 in St. Mary’s, PA. However, the Erie team is still looking for a few more great men to become presenters!
As our affiliate continues to grow, we look forward to presenting programs in our communities, continuing to establish teams in the Diocese of Erie, and raising funds to help support our mission.
Our affiliate is Family Honor of Northwestern Pennsylvania. We can be contacted at FamilyHonorNWPA@aol.com. Our website is under construction.
We have had two great articles about our affiliate in local newspapers:
Knights of Columbus Council 7272 of St. Ann's Catholic Church recently donated $200 to our affiliate, for which we are very grateful. Thank you, Knights!
Our affiliate is recruiting new members for our advisory board. Drs. De La Rosa have both agreed to be on the Advisory Board.
We are recruiting men and women to register for the fall, 2008 semester of Family Honor’s DVD training course.
To contact us or find out more information about program booking or becoming a presenter in our area of Florida, please visit our website at: http://www.familyhonorgc.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
Our St. Louis affiliate is happy to report that we are getting very good responses from the parents and teens as to what the Family Honor program has done for their parent/teen communication.
We are also excited to report that we have gotten a lot of positive press which has given the program high visibility within the Archdiocese. A recent article about our team and our programs can be accessed by going to: http://www.stlouisreview.com/article.php?id=15089
However, the great press has also increased the need for securing additional presenters so we can provide more classes in the future. For 2007-08, we presented Changes & Challenges programs at Gateway Academy and Incarnate Word and a Real Love & Real Life program at Gateway as well.
For information about booking a program in the St. Louis area, contact Steve Notestine, at steven@quadrantproperties.com or Pat Notestine at pnotestine@charter.net.
Two of our team members will be participating in the Emmaus Road Conference in New Bern in October. We will join FH Executive Director Brenda Cerkez for a workshop about Family Honor during the conference and will also help to host an exhibit table there.
We are also in the process of booking programs in our area for the 2008-09 program year.
For information about booking a Family Honor program in the Raleigh area or nearby, contact either Linda Gaviria at gavsav@mindspring.com or Lisa Roess at lroess@nc.rr.com.
For 2008-09 our team will once again be booking programs in the Atlanta area, in north Georgia and also possibly in Chatanooga, TN. For information about our programs or how to become a presenter for our team, please contact either Mary Pat Haywood at haywood@optilink.us or Diane Houlihan at houlihant@bellsouth.net.
