30 Years of Empowered by the Spirit
PCCMA is pleased to announce this year’s theme for our retreat
conference will celebrate 30 years of Catholic Campus Ministry’s
guiding document: Empowered by the Spirit!
+
empowered:
delegate, equip, liberate, commission
As we serve young adults concerned with the
varied relationships they encounter in social,
romantic, academic, and spiritual
environments, we must be prepared to explain
the connection between these relationships
and their spiritual development while being
able to aid them in their search for Christ’s
truth and offer them welcome in the Church.
At the same time, we ourselves are called to
“Come aside…and rest a while.” This year’s
conference retreat will offer engaging
conversation, prayer, roundtables, featured
presenters, and our keynote speaker, Father
Jim Bacik, who aided in creating Empowered
by the Spirit. Save the date, November 2-4,
2015 and join us at the Malvern Retreat Center
in Malvern, PA for a memorable, reflective,
reinvigorating, and educational conference for
your entire campus ministry staff.
