Faith formation highlighted at meeting
PALM BEACH GARDENS | Nearly 60 ministry leaders in faith formation and youth ministry, their catechist and core team leaders, and permanent deacons, representing 30 parishes and schools, gathered Oct. 29 in the Family Life Center of the Cathedral of St. Ignatius Loyola for a professional development day offered by the Diocese of Palm Beach’s Office of Marriage, Family Life, Faith Formation and Youth Ministry.
The gathering was part of a trio of in-person trainings that, combined with monthly Zoom follow-ups, will help parishes understand and embrace the relational shift required in evangelizing ministry today. The theme comes from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ chosen catechetical theme for 2025-26, “Always be ready to give an explanation … for a reason for your hope” (1 Peter 3:15).
