CHARLOTTE — More than 200 participants from across four dioceses turned out for the 18th annual Diocesan Stewardship Conference on April 13 in Concord.
The conference, organized by the Diocese of Charlotte Office of Development, is a collaborative effort by the dioceses of Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston, S.C., and the Archdiocese of Atlanta, and provided attendees an opportunity to learn from lay and ordained stewards from parishes across the Southeast.
The conference was one of the most well-attended in recent years and featured keynote speaker, author Tracy Welliver. The event also included breakout sessions covering such topics as: hospitality and community building; beginning or renewing your stewardship efforts; inviting, cultivating and nurturing the stewardship of time and talent; Hispanic stewardship; stewardship and social media; and the role of the pastor.
