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, Arthur C. Brooks, Dr. Barbara Jatta, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, Katie Shaw, and more. 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. In a time of tremendous division, even among God’s own people, the conference is a forum for interactive presentations, engaging talks, and personal witnesses. Guests will depart the Conference with apostolic confidence to be bearers and sharers of the Good News!
