Workshop Spotlight: Art and Music: Driving Your Mission Forward

Art and music have long been powerful expressions of faith, mission, and community. How can congregations preserve these creative gifts and share them with future generations?

This workshop introduces the Ministry of the Arts and explores its journey from a brick-and-mortar store to a fully digital ministry. Participants will gain practical insights into that transition while discovering ways to preserve, promote, and celebrate the artistic works of sisters and congregations.

When crisis strikes, whether a natural disaster, threat of violence, or even a crisis of faith, communicators are often called to respond in real time with clarity, confidence, and care.

Join Dan Stockman and Krista Stockman of National Catholic Reporter / Global Sisters Report for the plenary session: “Safe Harbor in a Crisis: What Every Communicator Should Have Ready.”

Drawing from decades of experience in journalism and crisis communication, Dan and Krista will offer practical insight into navigating high-pressure situations while working with media, law enforcement, public safety officials, internal teams, and the broader community.

Participants will leave with:
• A foundational outline for a crisis communication plan
• A practical “go-bag” checklist for emergency preparedness
• Real-world strategies for responding when every moment matters

This is a session every communicator, leader, and ministry professional should have on their radar.
