Upcoming seminar on service based on pope's third encyclical

The Texas Catholic Conference Charity and Justice Department is sponsoring an upcoming seminar based on Pope Benedict's third encyclical, Caritas in Veritate.  The event, Charity and Truth in Ministry: Our Call to Service, will be April 30 - May 1 at the Hilton Austin Airport Hotel.

Caritas in Veritate links charity and truth in the pursuit of justice, the common good and authentic human development.  In doing so, the pope calls all men and women to think and act anew.  This seminar is an opportunity for volunteers in church ministry to gather and reflect on our common call to service.  Participants are also offered workshop choices to hone skills in specific areas relevant to their ministries, including fund raising, volunteer retention, Hispanic outreach, legislative advocacy, re-entry services and wrap-around services for families of the incarcerated, and more.
