ST. JOHN BOSCO CONFERENCE FOR FAITH FORMATION COORDINATORS
Faith Formation Coordinators are invited to join a small group of coordinators and Mark Salisbury to attend the Saint John Bosco Conference for Evangelization and Catechesis in Steubenville, OH, this summer from July 17-20.
The Diocese of Marquette has a limited number of scholarships available for $350 per person to help offset the cost. This leaves an approximate $350 expense for your parish. Travel costs by car will be paid by the diocese. For more information, email Mark at
msalisbury@dioceseofmarquette.org.
EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS, JUNE 9-10, 2023
CONFIRMATION RETREATS
The Diocese of Marquette Eucharistic Congress on June 9-10, 2023, at the Superior Dome in Marquette, qualifies as a retreat for youth working on confirmation for Fall 2023 or Spring 2024. Youth must attend both days of the conference.
FAITH FORMATION MATERIALS
The Diocese office has a variety of faith formation materials available at no charge to any parish that might need them. There is only one set of each so this is a “first-come, first-serve” opportunity. Materials may either be picked up at the Diocese office or we are happy to give them to your parish priest or representative if they are visiting the Marquette area.
Publications are from RCL Faith First, Sadlier We Believe, and Ignatius Press Faith and Life Revised edition. Teachers manuals for each grade and one student copy per grade are what is available. If you are interested, please contact Sara Shusta at
sshusta@dioceseofmarquette.org.
