Evangelization Keynote
Come to Grow in Faith
Keynote: Sr. Janet Schaeffler, OP
Deepening Faith
for Cultivating Disciples

Adult faith formation happens throughout the lifetime of a missionary disciple. It is so much more than a program, it is a journey of faith for all in the community of encountering, accompanying and being sent forth to build God’s Kingdom.

Sr. Janet Schaeffler, author of the book  Deepening Faith, will intensify your approach to adult faith formation with ideas to help inform, form and transform a faith community to connect faith and life every day using practical and easy to use new and innovative ideas.

In addition to the Keynote, Sr. Janet Schaeffler will invite participant to an afternoon breakout session on Adult Faith Formation: Thinking Outside of the Box

Evangelization Breakouts:
Come to Learn about Young Adults
Megan Lowes
Diana Hanchareko
Christina Hannon
Engaging Young Adults in Ministry

Megan Lowes has lived experience in cultivating young adults to be missionary disciples through being a part of bringing Young Catholic Professionals to Cleveland and in her work as a Pastoral Associate at St. Clarence in North Olmsted.

In this breakout, Megan presents a unique listening and consultative process she designed to start a young adult ministry in her parish community and welcomes participants to ask questions or share their wisdom on effective practices in starting young adult ministries in their parish, school or organization.

The Heart of the Young Adult

Diana Hanchareko and Christina Hannon invite you into a conversation based on research and personal experience in working with young adults. 

They share their findings of what is inside of the heart of young adults when it comes to matters of faith. 

With the Holy Spirit guiding the discussion all are invited to the conversation and to discovering how to journey forward with young adults in parishes, schools and organizations.

Come to Contemplate and Witness
Who do You Say That I Am?

The Lord questions the apostles in their understanding of his identity asking them, “Who do you say that I am?” (Mk 8:29) As missionary disciples, he continues to ask us the same question. Just like Simon Peter who answers first, Jesus will use our vocation to grow his church based on our faith. 

Greg Wasinski will inspire attendees to examine their own call to minister in Christ’s image and their responsibility to work as lay evangelizers in the church. 

This session will identify scriptural passages and Catechism references, along with inspirational insights that identify what is expected of us as Catholic Christian disciples.

Why Witness Matters
&
Practical Ideas for Witnessing

Recent studies have shown people are more convinced by personal witness than intellectual discussion.

Noted is that faith sharing is a necessary way to help other encounter or invite someone into a renewed personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Join the conversation with Sr. Theresa Rickard, OP as she explores ideas for cultivating missionary discipleship through witnessing in your parish, group or organization.
