Faith Formation
Virtual Conference

November 5-8, 2020

Equipping catechists, ministry leaders, and families to better know and teach the Faith

New Jersey Catholics are standing strong, together!

While the pandemic may prevent us from gathering, it cannot keep us from uniting. This year, the Archdiocese of Newark in collaboration with the dioceses of Paterson, Metuchen, Trenton, and Camden are rallying catechists, ministry leaders, and families to better know and teach the faith.

 

Knowing that the pandemic has forced many faith formation programs and their families to pivot rapidly, this conference will educate, empower, and inspire parents, ministry leaders, and catechists to be confident educators in the faith and lead with courage at their homes and parishes.

Come to the Faith Formation Virtual Conference to...

Be Inspired

Hear from incredible presenters, witnesses and evangelists.

Be Equipped

Be confident in your role as a catechist or parent teaching the Faith.

Be Innovative

Collaborating throughout the

Dioceses of New Jersey

Not only do we want to help you learn, we want to help you connect!

Rarely do ministry leaders and catechists get to connect with counterparts from neighboring dioceses.

 

At this conference, we have special sessions to help you build new contacts across your diocese, connect with like-minded leaders in neighboring dioceses, and form relationships that sustain you both spiritually and professionally.

We gladly open all of our conference opportunities to anyone who wishes to attend.
