As an attendee of the Mid-Atlantic Congress for Pastoral Leadership in March, I wanted to thank all those who worked for so many months to put together a congress that was not only informative, but inspirational and spiritually uplifting. It was definitely a testament to “Witness Hope.”
I hope that the vision and enthusiasm will continue to “light the way” for many more years to come. My fellow catechetical leaders and catechists were energized to return to their ministries and lead with a new evangelizing spirit! A special thanks to Paulist Father John Hurley and the Archdiocese of Baltimore Department of Evangelization for being true examples of “disciples on a mission” for all of us.
