FOCUS
The theme of the 2014 CARFLEO Conference builds on the theme of last year’s Conference: “New Evangelization: Religious Education in the 21st Century” by tapping into the knowledge and expertise of one of Canada’s leading catechists. Anne Walsh was the principal writer of the CCCB document On Good Soil, and she will share her rich background with conference delegates concerning the tasks of evangelization and catechesis in general, and the Elementary Religious Education Policy Document in particular.
