Our Annual Training has gone Virtual!

 

The Atlanta Catechist Conference is an annual gathering of volunteer catechists, core teams, Parish Catechetical Leaders, Youth Ministers, RCIA teams and Catholic school teachers.  The event supports the ongoing formation and enrichment of these volunteers and lay ministry leaders who serve the Church’s mission of evangelization and catechesis. The day features national and local speakers leading workshops on theology, spirituality, methodology, and more. Participants can earn Catechist Certification Credit in the Archdiocese of Atlanta for all workshops attended.

SPEAKERS

Our presenter lineup includes nearly 50 local and national speakers covering topics from classroom management and RCIA to youth and young adult formation. We will post a full conference catalog when available.
