IFSJ with Young Adults
Thursday, May 17, 5pm – Sunday, May 20, 10am REGISTER HERE
For this gathering, we'll combine aspects of retreat, conference, and urban immersion models for one-of-a-kind experience Our objective is to engage you in experiences of integrating faith, service, and justice so that you return to your ministry energized and ready to invite others into your experience!
To achieve this, we have a top-notch group of presenters ready to share their wisdom about working with young adult Catholics in the trifecta of faith, service, and justice:
 Melissa Cidade, Director of Pastoral Assistance Surveys and Services at the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), will discuss her research on young adult Catholics and what they seek in Church.
 Gregory Coogan, Director of the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at the Diocese of Camden, will talk about why there seems to be a diversion between devotion and justice, and what we can do to help close the gap.
Marie Dennis, Co-President of Pax Christi International, will explore practical ways to move from doing service to advocating for justice.
 Patrick Donovan, Executive Director of the Office of Catholic Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Wilmington, has published many books about using media in ministry, and will share his tips and tricks on using storytelling in ministry.
Dan Joyce, SJ, Assistant to the Vice President for Mission and Identity at St. Joseph’s University and faculty member of Faith-Justice Studies and Service Learning, will guide participants through the pastoral circle.
 Mike Laskey, Program Coordinator at the Center for FaithJustice, will help us to define our ministry and what it means to fully integrate faith, service, and justice. Widian Nicola, Program Coordinator, will help participants build faithjustice tool kits to use in their ministries.
 Fr. Mike McCue, OSFS from DeSales Service Works, will celebrate a Catholic Social Teaching Mass to help orient participants to liturgy as the intersection of faith, service, and justice.
The gathering will also include opportunities for prayer, networking, and service in Camden, NJ. The only thing that's missing is your presence!
