We are in the final days before our Virtual Convention and we are so excited for you to join us in just about a week’s time. Not registered for the convention yet? There’s still time! Registration closes on July 1. This year’s Virtual Convention is an opportunity for prayer, learning, engagement and connection during a time when all of these things are so craved and needed.
Don’t forget that if you register for the full convention at the $295 rate, you receive access to the Virtual Convention platform for over two months! This means that from the start of the convention until September 15, you get access to hundreds of hours of content. You get all of the breakouts to watch, all of the showcases and product resources, all of the plenum addresses and key changes…you can divvy up the schedule and catch things that you couldn’t watch during the convention week. THAT is a huge advantage to this year’s convention. I’m sure all of you know that when you attend an in-person convention, there are always things you want to get to, but just can’t. Well, now, thanks to the full convention registration option, you can learn for months after the convention, and catch all of the opportunities you want.

For the next four weeks, we in Ministry Monday will be taking a brief hiatus from new episodes, as we will be participating in the 2020 Virtual Convention. But don’t worry! We’ve combed through our archives and have found some great Ministry Monday episodes for you to listen to.
Our first episode from the archives comes from Bishop Mark Seitz. Bishop Seitz is the bishop of El Paso, Texas, as well as NPM’s episcopal moderator. This episode originally aired on February 11, 2019. For this reason, Bishop Seitz discusses the still-raw wounds from the crisis facing the Catholic Church in light of the sex abuse scandals which rocked our country in August 2018. However, in a way, his discussion of maintaining unity in good times and bad still resonates today. Originally hosted by Matt Reichert, former host of Ministry Monday, we’re glad to bring you this throwback episode today.
