The ministry of catechesis necessarily involves “witnessing to an encounter that keeps the focus on Jesus Christ, the son of God, incarnate in the history of humanity, in order to bring to fulfillment the revelation of the Father’s saving love. On the basis of the heart of faith, the lex credendi gives itself over to the lex orandi, and together they turn the believer’s way of life into a witness of love that makes the proclamation credible.”
Preface for the Directory for Catechesis, 6)
The theme for GO! 2024 Gulf Coast Faith Formation Conference is “Encounter Jesus, Go with Joy!” We hope to have many diverse and engaging presenters who will share a vision of encountering Jesus and sharing the good news as presented in the Directory for Catechesis (DC). We cannot share what we do not ourselves hold. For us to expect others to encounter Jesus, we ourselves must experience the same.
How do we personally go, meet and make the decision to follow Jesus and invite others to do the same?
When you register for your Conference pass, you will be carving a time and place for yourself to encounter Jesus and experience:
- Inspiring keynotes offered by Mike Patin, ValLimar Jansen, and Dr. Joe Paprocki
- Over 40 resourceful breakout sessions
- Beautiful liturgies and prayer services
- An Exhibit Hall where you can learn more about faith formation resources and degree programs to grow as a catechist or teacher
- A place to network with peers and and learn from Catholic education and faith formation leaders from around the United States.
