Evangelium Conference 2008 - for Young Adults

There aren't many opportunities like this available in Ireland, so I'm happy to be able to publicise this English event which is being organised by a couple of priests who were a few years ahead of me in seminary.

Young adults (18 to 35) are invited to attend this new weekend residential conference on ways of explaining the Catholic faith in the modern world. It is organised by Fr Marcus Holden and Fr Andrew Pinsent (authors of the Evangelium course on the Catholic faith published by CTS, who are sponsors of the event).
