Emmaus Journey's
Vision of Hope Conference
Evangelization and Formation - Imperative for the New Decade
October 29-31, 2010
"In hope we were saved, says Saint Paul to the Romans, and likewise to us. …So now we must ask explicitly: is the Christian faith also for us today a life-changing and life-sustaining hope?" Pope Benedict XVI in Saved by Hope (Spe Salvi)
Conference Overview
The Church’s mission is to spread hope “contagiously” among all peoples. As a new decade begins, Catholics who have heard the Church’s call to take this mission seriously are invited to come together to get a fresh glimpse of the vision of hope to which we are called.
At the “Vision of Hope” Conference you will receive insightful messages, practical workshops, and a motivating fellowship focused on Catholic evangelization and discipleship formation—a means of offering hope during the next decade.
Join us at a conference center like no other, with a castle, comfortable lodges, 800 acres of glorious space, a waterfall hike and fantastic meals. In this beautiful setting you will find the perfect environment to be alone with God, relate to others who also are intent on following Him, recharge your spirit and rethink your direction.
