Formed in Faith: Celebrating Catholic Identity

40th Annual Southwest Liturgical Conference Study Week
Dioceses of Colorado Springs and Pueblo
Colorado Springs, Colorado  -  January 16-19, 2002

     The Dioceses of Colorado Springs and Pueblo invite you to come to Colorado in January 2002, for the 40th Annual Southwest Liturgical Conference Study Week.
     Begun during the Second Vatican Council, the Southwest Liturgical Conference is the oldest and largest inter-diocesan coalition of theologians, diocesan leadership, and parish personnel which explores the rich and wonderful worship life of the Roman Catholic Church. The 27 dioceses of the conference representing 7 states, gather every year to study and prayerfully celebrate the ritual nature of a tradition that has traveled through the whole history and course of the Christian Gospel.
     The 2002 Study Week will focus on our distinct character in FORMED IN FAITH: CELEBRATING CATHOLIC IDENTITY. Internationally renowned speakers will lead us into greater understanding of why the Faithful gather, how through Word and Sacrament we are formed, and the nature of our being sent forth in Mission to evangelize from our transformed hearts.
     Colorado Springs and Pueblo are humbled by this wonderful opportunity to welcome you and host you at our 40th gathering of blessing in Colorado Springs.
