Trainers
Bishop Corrada has
appointed official trainers from every deanery. These
trainers have been carefully selected and have agreed to serve
the Diocese of Tyler in this capactity for the next three
years. While there are many people who have expressed
willingness to serve as a trainer the decision was made to
have a modest sized group of trainers that can stay current
with the programs.

list of trainers (updated Oct 2011) please select trainers from your deanery first, some of the members of the team that designed the program do limited trainings.
