The Thomistic Institute’s Eighth Annual Conference for Priests: “Evangelizing Your Parish” will be held 29 July to 1 August, 2019 in Providence, RI.
“As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near’.”
The work of evangelization is attractive, but it’s also difficult and perhaps even a bit intimidating. What is more, evangelization can be most challenging at home, within one’s own parish. This year, we’ve invited excellent speakers to enlighten and inspire us for the urgent work of witness.
