ROOTSTOWN — “Catechesis and the Proclamation of the Word” is the theme for the Evangelization and Catechesis Conference, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Nov. 14 at the NEOUCOM Conference Center in Rootstown. The Conference is sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.
Adele Gonzalez will present the keynote on “The Church Exists in Order to Evangelize.” The Rev. Monsignor Robert Siffrin, Vicar General of the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, will preside at morning prayer.
