Join over 2,000 attendees coming from all over Northern California at the Santa Clara Convention Center on November 21 & 22 (Friday & Saturday) for the annual Faith Formation Conference, Empowering Those in Ministry.

On Saturday Cyprian will give two talks on the Universal Call to Contemplation.

The First, from 1:00-2:15 pm, explores inter-religious dialogue. The second from 2:45 -4:00 pm continues with a focus on Prayer and Meditation   If you attend this conference you will need to sign up for these talks.

Our theme is Witnessing Hope to a Suffering World/Testigos de Esperanza para un Mundo Sufriente sponsored by Diocese of Monterey, Diocese of San José, Archdiocese of San Francisco and in association with Diocese of Oakland and Diocese of Stockton. This conference helps ministers and leaders connect Christian faith with their daily lives in the culturally diverse dioceses in Northern California. A variety of workshops will be offered in English, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese. Each workshop connects with prayer and calls forth an action for justice. All those interested in enriching their faith are welcome! Come celebrate in prayer, visit exhibits and come away spiritually renewed and inspired.
