Published: 2007-03-14

DENVER (CNS) -- More than 2,000 educators, catechists and other Catholics eager to enrich their faith attended the Denver Archdiocese's annual Living the Catholic Faith Conference held March 9-10 at the Colorado Convention Center. The conference theme was drawn from Jesus' first words in Mark's Gospel, "Repent and believe in the Gospel." "These are the first words Jesus spoke in his public ministry, and they're still the best way to begin and sustain a Christian life," said Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput in a letter to conference attendees. "God is calling each of us to a deeper personal conversion and Gospel witness. The mission of the church depends on God's grace and your generous response in a life of discipleship," he added. In addition to speeches and workshops in English and Spanish, the conference featured Mass, eucharistic adoration, confession and a plethora of exhibits. About 1,000 Hispanics participated in the Spanish-language track of the conference.
