The Open Track provides Non-Track participants with additional workshops from which to choose. These workshops will address current issues and trends within the catechetical field, the Church and the world in order to equip the catechist to more effectively proclaim the Gospel in today’s rapidly changing society. These workshops are new each year, and therefore provide participants with excellent opportunities for on-going formation. Also, non-track participants can choose from ANY workshop in ANY track to further customize your conference experience.
