Cor ad Cor – Catholic Campus Ministry Conference

Truth, Goodness and Beauty

“Sanctity does not mean this or that practice; it consists in a disposition of the heart which makes us humble and little in God’s arms, aware of our weakness and confident even to the audacity in the goodness of our Father.” St. Therese of Lisieux (patroness of this year’s conference)

Cor ad Cor is a conference for college students seeking to grow in their understanding of and love for the Catholic Church as well as deepen their relationship with God. “Cor ad cor” was the official motto of St John Newman, meaning “heart speaks to heart.”

This retreat includes three days of talks, reflections and fellowship as well as time for prayer and the sacraments. We will explore exactly how God speaks to our hearts and how we receive His word. Sometimes we encounter Him through Truth in arguments, syllogisms, the historical reliability of the Resurrection, and more. Sometimes it is through Beauty, praying in a beautiful church, contemplating a piece of religious art or music, or watching a breathtaking sunset. And sometimes we encounter Him in Goodness, the powerful examples of the saints, the selflessness of a loved one, or the unexpected kindness of a stranger.

Join us this year to learn to appreciate the different sounds of His voice and recognize how His Heart is speaking to yours! The conference will include Mass, prayer, Confession, teachings, small groups, fellowship and fun!

The conference will begin on Friday, February 26th and conclude on Sunday, February 28th. The cost includes all conference activities, meals, and lodging. Those in need of financial assistance should reach out to Zack Haney at 717-657-4804 ext 307 or by email: zhaney@hbgdiocese.org.

All undergraduate students who live or attend school in the area are welcome!
