The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia and the Office of Stewardship are again pleased to offer eight $1,250 scholarships to priests wishing to attend one of two valuable conferences. The application deadline has been extended to Friday, June 22, 2018. Please see below for more information.
Amazing Parish: October 17 – 19, 2018
https://amazingparish.org/amazing-parish-conference-milwaukee/
The Amazing Parish conference is a practical and one-of-a-kind experience for parish leaders. You will receive first-hand organizational training from New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, and other engaging Catholic leaders. The Amazing Parish conference is in a workshop-style format so pastors and parish leaders can work side-by-side and learn what a real leadership team looks like, how it operates, and how it can best serve its parishioners.
If you choose this conference, the scholarship will go toward the $1,500 cost of registering your parish team. This fee covers the pastor and four members of his leadership team.
International Catholic Stewardship Conference: October 28 – 31, 2018

The theme for this year’s ICSC Conference is Missionary Disciples: Stewards of the Gospel and will be in Nashville, TN. Discover how stewardship can transform your parish. The conference offers tracks for those new to stewardship and for those who want to reinvigorate their parish stewardship efforts. There is a session on the practical tools of stewardship and another session specifically for parish business managers. One session is available completely in Spanish.
If you choose this conference, the $1,250 will cover your conference registration fee plus your hotel costs.
If you are interested in applying for this scholarship, please complete and submit one of the attached scholarship request forms. The Pastors Advisory Council of the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia will select the scholarship recipients, and you will be notified of the award in July.
