"Listen, Teach, Send" - Regional Formation Event

In July 2024, the USCCB released a new national framework for Ministries with Youth and Young Adults called, "Listen, Teach, Send."

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis in partnership with the USCCB invites you to join us on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at Marian University, Indianapolis from 9 am-5 pm for a regional formation event on Listen, Teach, Send that will address the implications this document has on our ministries with youth and young adults as well as provide space to learn how to apply this document to our lived ministry experience.

This event is open to all ministry leaders who minister to youth and young adults - youth ministers, young adult ministers, diocesan leaders, marriage & family leaders, campus ministers, etc. All are invited to learn more about this document!

There will be an optional Opening Mass with Archbishop Thompson|Dinner|Opening Presentation|Social on Monday, April 7, 2025 at Marian University, Indianapolis from 4 - 10 pm. You are invited to attend both the April 7 & 8th events or only attend on April 8th, based on your availability.

If you are from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and want your parish assessed for the registration fee please contact Keri Carroll at [email protected] or 317-236-1550 for an assessment code.
