Mission statement: We minister as leaders in catechesis and evangelization because at some point in our lives we encountered God through Scripture and we want to share that love of God with others.  Such Joy that we, as believers, find in the Gospel!  Such Joy that we want others to also encounter, a Joy that makes all things possible through Christ!  As we Encounter, again, that Joy of the Gospel during this conference, we examine the culture we now live in and the many methods that are available to us – from the arts, to modern technology, to simply living as persons of joy – as we guide others to also Encounter that Joy!
