Parish Ministry & Catechetical Conference
RENEW YOUR MINISTRY!
Registration is open for the 2019 Parish Ministry & Catechetical Conference. Join us September 28, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at West Catholic High School. Doors open at 7:15 AM.
This year's theme, "Open Wide Our Hearts" (Jn 13:35), reminds us that our challenge as members of the body of Christ, is to love as Jesus commanded us to love; to ensure that no matter what your circumstances in the world are, the love of Christ is meant to be shared with all.
This annual event began in 1983 as a conference for religious education teachers. Today, the Parish Ministry & Catechetical Conference offers over thirty workshops for anyone who would like to grow in knowledge of the Catholic faith or develop their ministry skills. Registration details below in English and Spanish.

KEYNOTE
"A Good Case of Heartburn"
The challenges of ministry in recent times can be disheartening. The disciples on the road to Emmaus experienced questions, doubt and questions and yet Jesus appeared to them, journeying with them. How do we encounter the One who makes our "hearts burn within us" today? How do we keep our enthusiasm and share the Good News in this day and age?
