Every year, the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers (NACFLM) hold a conference & every year it keeps getting better & better!

This year’s theme is in keeping with the year of faith. It’s entitled:

“Faith & Family in the New Evangelization: From the Heart of the Church to the Heart of the Home”

As in past years, the Office of Family Life is encouraging your attendance because what you bring home from the conference

not only benefits the individual attendees but also their families and faith community which benefits all of us!

We ask that you consider attending NACFLM’s 2013 International Conference Here are 10 reasons to consider going:

1. The theme for this year says it all. “In today’s world we need to live our faith and, if nothing else, evangelize by our example”.

2. The venue for this year is close to home: St. Louis, MO

3. Save on gas. The Office of Family Life is providing free bus service to and from the conference. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED!

4. Timely topics and speakers.

5. A chance to learn and bring it back to your home & parish. 6. Meet with others from around the world and share ideas. 7. Listen to the authors of the programs you are interested in.

8. 6 Great Keynote Addresses, 21 Excellent Resource Workshops, 7 Informative Trade Schools and 12 Pre-Conference classes

9. A great learning experience for you. Where else can you learn so much!?!? 10. A way to get fired up about your faith, in this Year of Faith, and how to live it out.

Remember the EIGHT BUILDING BLOCKS introduced for Marriage Building 2011?! Just for this year, we are adding an 9th BUILDING BLOCK: Evangelization.
