Campus Ministry Leaders
Registration now open! 2023 Campus Ministry Leaders Conference
Disaffiliation on Campus: What Are We Learning?
Saturday, February 4, 2023
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (EST)
The Capital Hilton Hotel | Washington, DC (immediately before the 2023 Annual Meeting)
Join Campus Ministry leaders as we gather to focus on our unique role for our campuses. Topically, we will focus on student disaffiliation and the impact it has on our ministries. Our discussion will be informed by current research and the unique challenge and blessings we have in serving diverse student bodies on campus through Catholic Higher Education. We’ll dive into challenging topics that impact students’ sense of belief and belonging – reflective of the issues identified in the recent USCCB synodal synopsis. Relationally, we’ll cultivate a space to be authentic with peers who share a common mission in ministry and who navigate similar challenges and joys.
We hope to see you there.
