The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will be holding a Southeast USA regional retreat and workshop on the implementation of their 2024 national pastoral framework on ministry with young people entitled “Listen, Teach, Send”.
“Listen, Teach, Send” is a document of the entire Body of Bishops of the United States that offers guidance and direction to the Catholic Church’s approach to pastorally accompanying youth and young adults in church communities and families. It was voted on and approved by the bishops at their 2024 June Plenary Assembly.
The audience for this retreat and workshop includes local parish leaders working with youth, collegians, and young adults, as well as those at the diocesan level, in religious communities, and within Catholic schools, institutions, and organizations.
