Behold the Face of Jesus: Feeding the Hungry Heart

Julianne Stanz, Director of Outreach for Evangelization and Discipleship for Loyola Press

Through the lens of Matthew 25:35–40, Julianne Stanz invites participants to encounter the face of Jesus in all those we serve. Aligning with Julianne's heart for discipleship and passion for storytelling, attendees will be equipped to build a culture of encounter in their families, parishes, and communities. Julianne’s signature storytelling style will weave together Scripture, personal experiences, and practical insights to inspire participants to live out their faith in practical and compassionate ways.

Presentación en español (Spanish Track)
"Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento?" Mateo 25:37

Rev. Thomas Viviano, Presidente del Departamento de Teología Moral, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary.

Parte de la vida cristiana es dar de comer a los hambrientos. Pero hay muchas formas de hambre. Esta charla explorará cuatro tipos de hambre que la gente hoy sufre — hambre de Dios, hambre de la verdad, hambre de saber que importa, hambre de ser desafiado — y cómo el catequista puede satisfacer estos hambres con su servicio al Señor y su Iglesia.
