Catholic Rural Life

Summer is a time of vacations and visitors, when people travel to see relatives and friends. Hospitality is a cornerstone of rural life, a trademark of these summer days. This hospitality can become a cornerstone of rural spirituality as well.

Catholic Rural Life

Change is natural if not always smooth as we move from one phase of life to another. The month of September brings us a change of seasons: The warmth of summer gives way to mornings with a touch of chill in the air; the evenings come earlier as the days shorten in the rhythm of the season.

HOPE, HEAL, RENEW: OUR JOURNEY CONTINUES

A virtual conference to be held on November 4 - 6, 2021

As Christians, we are on pilgrimage – accompanied by Christ on a sacred journey of discipleship. The road has not always been easy, especially in recent months. But our purpose is clear: to be messengers of hope, healing, and renewal to all we encounter along the way. Inspired by the success of our inaugural virtual conference last fall, we invite you to join us on November 4 – 6, 2021 to engage in uplifting prayer services & liturgies, live interactions with presenters, learning sessions in multiple languages, real-time “coffee talk” conversations with colleagues in ministry, and so much more. Come, be with us as our journey continues…

Hope, Heal, Renew: Our Journey Continues is co-hosted by the (Arch)Dioceses of Fresno, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Monterey, Reno, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Jose, Stockton.
