This entire conference has been a great blessing. The sequence of talks had a great and useful logic. Well done! At my parish, we’ve gotten to a place of, ‘Right, but how?’ This conference posed many practical answers to those questions. Thank you.

We priests have so few opportunities to pray together and celebrate Mass together. This conference showed me that I am part of an intimate sacramental brotherhood with each other and Jesus, the high priest.

When I hear the phrase ‘apostolic age’ I think about the time we are in, which mirrors the time of the apostles. That’s what we have been talking about at the conference— – that need to have a vision like the early apostles, knowing that we are living in a time where society isn’t promoting Christianity. We are here to be equipped and to equip our people. It’s been really inspiring.

Thank you so much for another blessed conference. I gained so much from the 2023 conference that I wanted to sign up as soon as I heard about this one. What a gift. I am so grateful for the EC for all that you give us. Be assured of my prayers for you.

I thought the talks were spot on and engaging. Speakers loved the priesthood! Thank you for bold faith and mission!

Dan’s talk CHALLENGED me, Jason’s talk INSPIRED me, and Mike’s was a good “fleshing out” of Dan’s talk.

These were talks that really convicted me of my own need for great conversion as a priest and leader. What I needed more than anything was a greater zeal and conviction that my awesome parish (according to the real metrics!) is not enough!

Every event of this gathering was inspirational and the messages were deeply communicated for our growth in pastoral ministry, effective leadership and pastoral caring.
