WINSTON-SALEM — Nearly 500 catechists and people representing 50 parishes interested in Catholic formation attended the Catechetical Conference organized by the Diocese of Charlotte Nov. 11 at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem.
Attendees took part in lectures and workshops that addressed important issues and new strategies for faith formation teachers.
After welcoming attendees in Spanish and English, Father Julio Domínguez, vicar of Hispanic Ministry, addressed the Latino audience to explain how to integrate the pastoral priorities of Bishop Peter Jugis into Hispanic ministry.
He invited catechists to work with “intentionality,” bringing joy and hope to work with the Hispanic community in a flourishing, young and growing diocese.
The event included Mass, offered by Father Marcel Amadi, Campus Ministry chaplain at Wake Forest University.
