An agenda that will train and inspire
Learn about our exciting approach to catechesis at the Word of Life Partner Conference on July 21-23, 2025 at the Augustine Institute campus located in St. Louis, Missouri. With hands-on training and actionable strategies, you’ll leave the conference ready to recharge your catechists and classrooms for the 2025-2026 school year.
The conference includes much more than curriculum and classroom training. We will address the key catechetical issues you face today and how the Word of Life curriculum is designed to meet them.
Hear, discern, and participate in conversations about:
- Exploring the breadth and depth of the Word of Life curriculum
- Proclaiming the Faith with Word of Life in middle school grades
- Sacramental preparation with Word of Life
- Forming students and families with Word of Life digital resources
