Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Good News Conference™?

The Good News Conference is a very special few days planned for those who desire to grow closer to Christ through the Good News as preached by the world’s most dynamic religious evangelists. Keynote talks are presented by Bishop Robert Barron and other leading Catholic voices. The mission of the Good News Conference is to enhance lives, strengthen the Catholic faith, and evangelize through a different theme each year. The Conference will provide the historical and biblical context for our hope and joy in Christ.

Guests will depart the Conference with apostolic confidence to be bearers and sharers of the Good News!

We love children and welcome them on most of our pilgrimages, but the Good News Conference is not for children under the age of 18. We are obliged to protect the investment guests make when they participate in the Good News Conference and in order to prevent disruption and to respect the atmosphere that our guest speakers work so hard to prepare, we limit this event to those over 18 years old.
