Our Masses will be celebrated during our meeting at the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France -- the "old" cathedral of this archdiocese.


Telling Our Stories...

The emphasis of our three-day agenda will be on what these stories are and how we tell them. There will be specific presentations, from outside experts, in the areas of new media and education. There will also be "workshops" at the start of the meeting on fundraising and the Internet.

The program begins with those workshops on Tuesday, April 28, at 1 p.m. Our opening Liturgy will take place at 4:30 p.m. at St. Louis' Old Cathedral, also known as the Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France. All our Masses in fact -- Wednesday, April 29, at 5 p.m. and Thursday, April 30, at 9 a.m. -- are at this cathedral, which is just one block from our hotel.

Our meeting concludes on Thursday, April 30, at 1 p.m., after morning sessions.

Watch for more specifics on each day's program; these will be posted in a drop down menu under "Program" above on St. Patrick's Day!
