You don’t have to feel alone or disoriented by the shadows hanging over our world. We find the brightest light in the deepest darkness and we can’t help but be drawn to it. That Light is Christ our Hope.
Internationally celebrated presenters livestreamed a “Night of Hope” event from Christ the King Chapel at Franciscan University on July 19, 2020. You can watch by clicking the link below!
JULY 24-26th, 2020
The Catholics INFormation Conference is…
to help our laity hear God’s call, discern their vocation, experience a formation process, and grow in confidence in their mission to help evangelize their homes, neighborhoods, and the world.
We’re not trying to make you priests and nuns – but we’re trying to help you to be the Catholic you are called to be. This requires FORMATION. Our presenters are people who were called, discerned, formed and sent to become a formation director for you.

Registration is now open for the Virtual Napa Institute Conference, “Finding Hope in the New America” which will be held August 14-15, 2020.
Dr. Tim Gray, President of the Augustine Institute, and Chris Stefanick, author, speaker, and television host, will provide inspiring spiritual keynote talks.
Far from being a slimmed-down version of a regular event, they have expanded the speaker line-up to allow for more content on urgent issues of Faith and Culture that we are facing today. The Virtual Conference will feature talks and live sessions from:
Cardinal George Pell, Arthur Brooks, Robert P. George, Dr. Scott Hahn, Curtis Martin, George Weigel, Ryan Anderson, Carter Snead, Matt Fradd, Fr. John Riccardo, Ross Douthat, Fr. Michael Gaitley, Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., Bob Woodson,
Catherine Pakaluk, Trent Horn, Fran Maier, Louis Brown and more to be announced!
In addition to the talks, they will also be uniting Catholics from all across the country for livestreamed Masses, Rosaries, and prayer. August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption, which makes it the perfect time to ask Our Lady to guide our next decade of preparing Catholics to face the cultural and spiritual challenges of the “Next America.”
Every year, tens of thousands of people have encountered the life-changing love of Christ at Steubenville Conferences across North America, so we didn’t want to let a summer go by without this opportunity.
Join us for Steubenville Live, a virtual, live-streamed Steubenville Youth Conference broadcast from Florida on July 17-18. This will be like no other virtual event offered; we know you’re sick of just staring at a screen for hours on end, so we’re including many interactive elements to allow you to actively participate from home. While nothing can fully replace an in-person Steubenville Conference, we are so glad to have the opportunity to gather virtually as the Body of Christ. Jesus will be with us personally and intimately, and he will continue to change hearts and lives.
Although Steubenville Live is geared toward high schoolers, all are welcome to join us online as we grow in love of Jesus Christ, who always loves us first.
On April 3-5, 2020, more than 60,000 Catholics from across the globe gathered online for the first Virtual Catholic Conference.
With worldwide cancellations of events, liturgies, and social gatherings, Catholics throughout the world were hungering for the Sacraments, God’s word, and community.
At Virtual Catholic Conference, our goal is to help Catholic apostolates launch their online conferences and retreats, creating a transformative experience for their attendees.
Upcoming Conferences:
May 22-24, 2020 The Catholic LoveLife Conference
Youth, Young Adult, Single, Celibate, and Married Offerings.
June 12-14, 2020 Virtual Eucharistic Congress
