On December 13 – 14, 2024, Father Joseph A. Miksch will come to St. Benedict Center, four miles north of Schuyler, and present a seminar titled Improving Our Communication Skills.
Communication skills are essential in the family, in church, and in all walks of life. In this seminar, Fr. Joe will teach active listening, avoiding Roadblocks to communication, and how to confront and resolve conflict. There is one caveat! Just reading a book or attending a seminar isn’t going to do much to improve your communication skills. One must make a conscientious effort to practice, practice, and practice these skills!
Father Joe, pastor of St. Isidore Parish in Columbus and St. Joseph Parish in Platte Center, NE, was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Omaha in 1966. He holds a Master’s with emphasis on Communication Skills and Counseling from Creighton University and is certified as a teacher of communication skills by Gordon Training International, Solana Beach, CA. Since 2020, he has had the privilege of having daily Mass in St. Isidore’s Church televised on NCN-TV, and through Facebook and YouTube reaches people throughout Nebraska, throughout the Nation, and at places as far away as Africa, Switzerland, Spain and Japan.
The seminar begins on Friday, at 9:00 a.m. and closes on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. The program fee is $ 70; room and board are additional.
