Metanoia
Every Catholic, no matter where we are in our faith journey, is invited to a deeper conversion. Metanoia is not a one-time event; rather, it is a continual process of turning away from the things of the world, from lies and sin and discovering a deeper union with Christ.
Metanoia is a production of The Ministry of The Wild Goose and 4PM Media in association with Franciscan University of Steubenville and the Franciscan Friars TOR of the Province of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The series is beautifully filmed on location in the Holy Land, highlighting sacred places such as the Sea of Galilee, the River Jordan, the desert of Temptations, and many of the holy sites in Jerusalem.

On Line Video Conference
"Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome Christ and accept his power. Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries of States, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization, and development. Do not be afraid." -Pope St. John Paul the Great
Who's the conference for?EVERYONE. Students home from school, elderly people, moms and dads, married couples, single people, religious- you name it! We all have uncertainty in common right now, and we have so many contributors that I guarantee there will be something for everyone.
What can I expect to get each day?
Each day you'll receive a talk and/or music on a different aspect of the spiritual life. My boss the Holy Spirit is keeping things flexible as to the length of the conference, but my best guess right now is about 30 days. This whole thing is TOTALLY spur-of-the-moment so I've left the topic selections up to the speakers. I trust they'll come up with something awesome.
Can I sign up after the conference has begun?
Yes! You can register at any time. Simply visit :
www.staceysumereau.com/be-not-afraid-conference
and you'll be included in the next day's email. I'll also send out links to recap what's already been shared each week, so those who opt in later can still see everything. PLEASE continue to share with family, friends, and groups you know!

We’re all feeling an absence. What can we do if we’re unable to attend Mass and receive the Eucharist? Remember, Jesus is still present in His Church—in tabernacles, with His priests, and, in a very real and powerful way, in Scripture.
This is an opportunity for great spiritual growth. Take advantage of this time to increase your devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, explore the richness of Sacred Scripture, and deepen your understanding of the faith. On this page, you’ll find all the resources you need to continue growing with the Lord no matter where you are.
Please enjoy these resources and share them with your friends and family, so as to be a beacon of hope in these dark times.
