This is a national conference for all lay Catholics who seek to grow as leaders to influence civil society for Christ. The conference lives at the intersection of professional development and spiritual growth. It provides Catholic Leadership formation, but not for ministry, for the world!

All the experts, panelists, and keynotes introduced are lay people. The Hour of the Laity puts only lay Catholic leaders, who are making an impact, in front of attendees as examples of authentic lay Catholic leadership. We do not showcase apologists, theologians, or ministry leaders. Rather, we learn from lay Catholic leaders in civil society. Our speakers will show lay people why and how our true calling is to be ambassadors of Christ in the world.
