About the conference

Answering atheists, agnostics, and the just plain indifferent in an age of unbelief

In the last decade, the percentage of Americans calling themselves Christians fell from 77% to 65%, while the unaffiliated rose from 17% to 26%. This rapid growth of unbelief shows no sign of stopping and is, without question, the most serious threat to the Catholic faith, to say nothing of the salvation of souls. It is this threat to which we turn our attention at the 2023 conference.

What can we say to those who reject not only this or that Catholic teaching but faith itself
How do we answer not only atheists and agnostics but also the just plain indifferent?
What role do liturgy, beauty, wonder, and community play in fostering belief?
