If you are a lay leader serving in a parish, diocese, or Catholic apostolate, join the Augustine Institute faculty for a virtual conference to strengthen you in your role.

You will hear from our experienced faculty as they discuss a renewed vision for evangelization and formation.

As the Church observes the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, this conference will highlight the way in which the Council’s documents illumine the mission of the Church.

It will invite us into deeper reflection on the centrality of the deposit of the faith in our apostolic work.

This Conference will also highlight our new Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology program for lay leaders, with an optional Concentration in Catechesis, which is available both on-campus and via distance education.

Tune in and join us as we seek to strengthen you in your roles as lay leaders!
