April 7-8 gathering at Marian to highlight USCCB document on youths, young adults

Marian University, 3200 Cold Spring Road, in Indianapolis, is hosting a two-day regional formation event on April 7-8 highlighting “Listen, Teach, Send,” a new national pastoral framework for ministries with youths and young adults in the Church adopted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) last June. The gathering is being co-hosted by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the USCCB.

“Listen, Teach, Send” will unpack the USCCB document and focus on its guide for families and pastoral ministers in the accompaniment and evangelization of youth and young adults in their journey to and with Jesus Christ.

The methodology for it is rooted in the Gospel story of the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-35) and invites pastoral leaders and families, in their engagement with young people, to imitate Jesus who listens attentively, teaches from the heart and sends disciples into the world.

The two-day event will be from 4-9 p.m. on April 7 and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on April 8.

Indianapolis Archbishop Charles C. Thompson will celebrate a welcoming Mass for all attending at 4:30 p.m. on April 7 at Marian University.

Costs, including meals, is $30 for a single day or $60 for both days. Register by April 1. For more information or to register, visit tinyurl.com/listenteachsend25.
