The Faith and Life Convention

The Faith and Life Convention is a forum for people from across the diocese, and beyond, to gather together and to take part in a range of conversations about the meaning of faith and its relevance to every area of our lives. We invite you to join us for our third Faith and Life Convention on Saturday 24th September 2016 in Our Lady and St Patrick’s College, Knock, Belfast beginning at 10am. Sarah Teather, Jesuit Refugee Service will be the keynote speaker for the day and will invite us to reflect on the current refugee crisis and share with us her own journey of discernment that led her away from the benches in parliament to her current role. Our discussion will be picking up on all the hot topics reflecting on how the Church, and we as people of faith, position ourselves in current debates and engage more readily in the public square. An essential element of the day will be the afternoon workshops which will explore the place of faith in many different areas of our lives. Each participant can attend two workshops which will be booked on a first come, first served basis. So book early!
