Everyone who works in ministry needs time to reflect, share, and grow in their own faith. For that reason, just as last year, we have added an extra day to Congress, just for you! Join us for sessions that are focused on the ministries that fill our parishes given by Pastoral Staff and other invited guests as they guide us in improving how we serve, and giving concrete ideas to maintain personal relationship with God. Although designed for parish staff and leadership, Friday sessions are open to everyone
Registration is required (see pages 35-36), and all who participate must wear their name badge at all time.
On-site registration will be available beginning at 8:00 am.
