REFUEL 2021

Praised be Jesus Christ! It’s been a most unusual year, but we are still making plans to hold our annual diocesan conference for all who serve the mission of the Church – catechists, evangelists, youth ministers, volunteers, and more: 

Lost & Found
 Friday – Saturday, January 22-23, 2021
Terra Sancta Retreat Center
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it?” – Luke 15:4

As we continue to navigate the work of evangelization during a pandemic, many of us are asking questions about how to reach out, how to connect with and bring back those families that we haven’t seen in months due to Covid, how to bring the Good News to the people in our communities. At Refuel 2021, we’ll talk about these hard questions and discuss ideas, opportunities, and resources, to help us with the new challenges of the New Evangelization, as we seek out the lost.

This year, we have a modified schedule, all conferences will be held in Holy Cross Chapel, and meals can be purchased optionally, in order to better accommodate social distancing.  Registration will be limited in order to meet spacing requirements in the chapel, and participants are asked to wear a mask in the common areas of the retreat center, although masks can be removed once seated in the chapel.

We are also offering the option to join us online via video, if you prefer — just be sure to check that box on your registration form. We’ll send you a link to view the conference and prayer times live online.

Cost is $30 with lodging and optional meals available for an additional charge. In-person space is limited — please register early to reserve your spot! Registration deadline is: January 12.
