Among the documents in this packet is an important reflection by Gerard Weber on the history of the catechetical movement in the United States, especially the Weber and KIllgallon’s contribution. In this reflection there is also a very important tribute to the contribution of Sister Mary Michael O’Shaughnessey, O.P.

Also in this package are records of the annual symposium sponsored by the Weber-Killgallon Center. Buried in these files one will also find evidence of how the CTU library hired catechists from the Black and Hispanic Catholic communities to buy those catechetical resources of importance to those communities.

Historical Note

These records are important because it marks the transition of the CTU Library from being strictly a library to the point where it included the Weber-Killgallon Center (WKC) as part of its responsibility. Initially there was a great deal of work and enthusiasm of the WKC Symposium. However, a change took place after the symposium became the responsibility of the Continuing Education Office. In an effort to collaborate with the broader archdiocesan efforts, the WKC became a co-sponsor for many of the archdiocesan programs of catechetical speakers and events.
