I’m honored to have the opportunity again this year to speak at the wonderful Diocese of Fresno Relgious Education Congress on October 10, 2009.  Last year’s Congress was so well attended that this year’s event is being held at the Visalia Convention Center.  I will be speaking on the topic ““Catholic Parenting: Fulfilling Our Baptismal Calling in Households of Faith”.  I hope to meet you in October!  Registration Information.

I’m happy to share the good news that I will be attending this year’s Catholic New Media Celebration, hosted by the Star Quest Production Network.  Along with attending the conference and all of the festivities, I will be speaking on the topic “Apostles and Bloggers: How to Make an Amazing Blog”.  I’m calling upon all of my favorite Catholic bloggers to share their expertise on this topic and am looking forward to a fruitful discussion in San Antonio.  If you’re planning to be at this year’s CNMC, please drop me a note.  Hope to see you there!
