The overall theme of the conference: Renewing Parishes: Becoming Places Where Faith Flourishes is addressed by the workshops that bring to life Pope John Paul's Apostolic Exhortation "The Church in America." Each workshop addresses some aspect of this important teaching for the Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and surrounding dioceses including collaboration between urban and suburban parishes, the role of the council members in ongoing planning for the parish, group decision making, training, and recruiting and developing parish leaders.
Registration is open to everyone. Lunch is included in the registration fee of $25.00. Individual preregistration is $20.00 each and $50.00 for groups of three.
