2014 Assembly: Turning Talk into Action

If you could not join us April 5, 2014, in Hartford CT, or if you would like to revisit some of the activities there, here are links to workshop reports, documents, photos, and audio/video recordings.

Check back frequently too. We are posting information as rapidly as possible once we get the reports from facilitators and other recorders. We also will offer DVDs of the two guest speakers and our panelists as soon as we make the formats behave long enough to press the disks!

In the meantime, you can enjoy this clip from the Q&A session with John Allen, Associate Editor for Catholic News at The Boston Globe and founder of the Vatican beat for National Catholic Reporter. Allen presented “Perspectives on Pope Francis & a Climate of Change.”

Here are links to Assembly Resources:
