Adult Formation Summit 2022

We are happy to announce the information for the 2022 Adult Formation Leadership Summit. The summit will be held from Friday, October 14th - Sunday, October 16th. Below we've provided some details of the weekend we wanted to share with you and also ask that you share it with anyone else you know may be interested:

Where will the summit be held?
The summit will be held at the Pastoral Center.

What can I expect from the weekend?
The weekend is designed to be an opportunity for all those involved in your parish’s adult formation leadership to grow in relationship with God, both individually and communally, and to be coached in the vision and skills for Adult Formation. Our time together will include formation sessions, time for personal reflection and discussion, and liturgies. Intending on offering more than just a mere workshop or retreat, there will be a healthy balance between concrete practicals, prayer experiences, and growth in community.  

Who is the weekend designed to serve?
The content and practical details for the weekend will focus particularly on both those already active in adult formation leadership (Coordinators of Adult Formation, Small Group Leaders, and Small Group Hosts) and also those interested in helping out with current programs in your parish or starting some. While the weekend is open to anyone involved in adult formation leadership, we do ask that if you are not currently involved you contact your parish's Adult Formation Coordinator or if your parish doesn't have one, your pastor prior to registering for this event.

What does the schedule look like?
We’ll be kicking off Friday evening with dinner at 5:30 for anyone who is available, with sessions starting around 7 pm. We’ll have a full day Saturday and continue through Sunday morning. We are planning to wrap up around 12 pm on Sunday. We are also considering hosting a "watch party" for the Saints-Bengals game starting at 12:00 on Sunday. Let us know in the registration form if you would be interested in that.

Do you have any accommodations for those who have to travel?
Yes! We’ve worked with the Hampton Inn in Houma to secure some great rates for anyone who is looking to make overnight accommodations. Rooms will be available at a discounted rate and you just need to call them between the 1st and 30th of September at (985) 266-0400 and tell them you are part of the "Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Adult Summit 2022".

How much does it cost to attend the summit?
Nothing! We are happy to say that we are able to offer the weekend at no cost to you! We’ll provide food and materials throughout the weekend.
