Lent is a significant season of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and...summer planning!
We hope that you will consider spending time this summer growing your professional skills and networking with parish evangelists from around the Archdiocese and the country. My team and I prioritize our professional growth at conferences, and we are inviting you to come along. Whether a youth minister, DRE, parish communicator, OCIA coordinator, pastor, and everything in-between - we've selected a suite of conferences this summer to fit your needs.
Visit our Summer Conference page for information about these conferences, the guaranteed scholarship we're offering, and to get registered! If you're not able to travel for a conference this summer, mark your calendar for the CNE's Light the Match Conference in Dayton on August 12 & 13, 2025. More info to come.
Also, please note that the deadline for the spring applications for Continuing Education And Missionary Option Grants are April 1. See below for details.
NCYC 2025 planning is underway! The CNE has purchased tickets, is reserving a hotel, and putting together a package for parishes to purchase for participation at NCYC 2025. Tickets will go on sale to parishes through the CNE website in early February. Contract Audrey Melton at amelton@catholicaoc.org with questions.
