If you are a lay leader serving in a parish, diocese, or other Catholic apostolate, join Augustine Institute faculty for a virtual conference to inform and refresh you for the important work you do.
You will hear from our experienced faculty as they address topics such as:
- how to better use the tools God has provided and reduce stress,
- what the Church is telling us with the revival of the ancient ministry of the Catechist, and
- how the study of theology and effective pastoral practice contribute to fruitful Church ministry.
There will also be a panel discussion of faculty with answers to your questions.
This Conference for Lay Leaders will also serve to announce our new Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology, with an optional Concentration in Catechesis, which will be made available both on-campus and online to Catholic leaders around the world.
Tune in and join us as we seek to strengthen you in your roles as lay leaders!
