The Blue-Collar Catholic Conference

“I address this heartfelt appeal to all the Catholic faithful, to all Christians and to all men and women of goodwill. Let us not be afraid to get our hands dirty on the ‘construction site’ of our time.”

-Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas 16

The Blue-Collar Catholic Conference

The Blue-Collar Catholic Conference is an online event designed for blue-collar people who want practical insights about the dignity of work, bringing their faith to the workplace, and increasing their knowledge of the faith.

The event brings together speakers and attendees in a focused virtual experience built to inform, engage, and create stronger blue-collar lay faithful and send them back into their homes and jobsites to better build the Church.

Attendance is free, but there are only 100 slots available.

Why this conference?

This conference responds to a clear need in blue-collar discipleship: The preponderance of Catholic media, and Christian media more generally is targeted at white-collar audiences. Blue-Collar Catholics are looking for practical guidance, trusted perspectives, and a place to connect around blue-collar and working class interests that aren’t being met elsewhere. By bringing this conversation online, the conference makes access easier, expands reach, and creates a timely platform for education, visibility, and partnership.

What?

This is a 2 hour online conference

Saturday, October 17th 10:00am - Noon EST

Join us on Zoom to learn more about the dignity of work and how to bring our faith to the jobsite.

I really want to thank Bishop Michael Burbidge for his support in this endeavor. While he won't be able to join us due to other commitments, he has sent his prayerful support.

Attendance is free but only 100 slots available.
