Adult Faith Formation – Ministry Resources
Save the Date: Missio, The Faith Formation Congress!
The OEEC is pleased to announce Missio: the Faith Formation Congress of the Archdiocese of Hartford. It is open to ALL in catechetical ministry (ranging
from PCLs to RCIA coordinators, pastoral associates to youth ministers, and everyone in between!)
Missio will take place on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at Saint Paul Catholic High School in Bristol from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The theme for 2019 will be Ignite Hearts:
An essential mission in the realm of ministry is to ignite hearts for Jesus. In order to do that, we must spread the Gospel message with a joy and zeal so as to light hearts on fire. Join us for a day of inspiration, wisdom, learning, and prayer as together, we seek to ignite hearts.
Please be sure to save the date – registration is coming soon.
