What if we love & serve like Jesus?

It can seem that Jesus’ command to “love one another as I love you” is a tall order (Jn 15:12). However, to let his Spirit flow through us in the way we love and serve is more possible than not!

Come and experience a weekend of interactive, hands-on learning for anyone desiring to love and serve in an empowering way. 

This conference will specifically help:

  • Caritas alumni and anyone desiring to love genuinely and prayerfully,

  • Partners and parents care and love with greater empathy and understanding,

  • Ministry leaders and volunteers hone leadership skills and envision a transformative way of serving together,

  • Parishioners build your parish into a more joyful spiritual home,

  • Catechists transmit faith by accompanying others with closeness, listening, and understanding.

Fr. Tri Dinh, SJ and the Christus Ministries Team will foster insight and discovery through experiential learning, personal prayer, reflection, communal processes, and meaningful group games.
