The objective of the seminar and expo was to help religious educators teach better by “Encountering the Living Christ” themselves.

Morning prayers were led by Archbishop John C. Favalora, who told the attendees that they “have one of the hardest and most important jobs in the church.”

The seminar’s keynote speaker, Joseph A. Iannone of St. Thomas University, spoke of how religious education is bringing the love of Christ and “fire” of the Holy Spirit to others.
