A Message of Hope
What is the role of Church today in living and announcing Good News for all people?
Our Thursday evening session will be an immersion into the message of hope provided by God’s living Word led by the presentation team for the Conference. Together, we will proclaim, celebrate and explore the Good News through music, reflection, witness, prayer, and ritual.
Proclaiming the Good News as a Parish Community
What does it mean to be a people, gathered around God’s Word, proclaiming hope in concrete ways to people in our community and throughout our global family?
Friday morning features Jack Jezreel from JustFaith. Jack will speak about the role of the parish in proclaiming Good News. At the heart of our proclamation is our commitment to justice and to serving those in need and advocating for their dignity.

Our Call to Proclaim Good News as a Leader in Ministry
How can we become Good News in the lives of those we encounter?
Saturday morning’s keynote features Carmen Marie Nanko-Fernández and reflects on our personal call to proclaim the Good News. For parish leaders, that means naming and claiming the Good News and dealing with the bad news we encounter in an authentic and holy way.
This keynote will be followed by a special round of workshops that will include presentation and facilitation for leaders in each of the ministry areas of lifelong faith formation.
