Lumen National Summit 2019
Our current strong focus continues to be Lumen National Summit, to begin on Friday evening October 4th and conclude Sunday after lunch October 6th. The event will take place at the University Club in midtown Manhattan.
The conference theme is “Keeping Our Youth Engaged with Faith.” Notable speakers will focus on this issue from different perspectives including Fr. David Marcotte, SJ, Head of Fordham Graduate Programs for Psychology. Fr. Bruce Wren, LC, who leads the Lumen Chicago Chapter and will be focusing on the crucial role of men in protecting the faith of families and Church. Ben Sands, a well-known executive coach and consultant will be outlining a 5 step game plan to help us become inspired Catholic leaders at home and work. Steve Auth will discuss his book “The Missionary on Wall Street” along with the secular reactions to date.
Dr. Jorge Valdes is our featured speaker on Sunday. At an early age, Dr. Jorge Valdes became a part of the Medellin Cartel as drug Lord and millionaire. He had women, yachts, private jets, mansions all over the world but was unhappy. While serving a prison sentence he had a major conversion, earned a Bachelors degree, a Masters from Wheaton College and Ph.D. in the NewTestament from Loyola University. He has spoken to US House of Representatives, the Pentagon, and as keynote speaker for the National Day of Prayer in Washington, DC.
Entertainment is scheduled during evening dinners and some free time on Saturday afternoon. Confessions will also be offered during the Saturday session. Your suggestions and comments from last year have been taken into consideration and believe we have put together a powerful and content rich program combined with social activities that should make this year’s conference a “not to miss” event. Last year we had about 75 attendees and hope to have 100 this year.
