Breakout sessions back at Fall Conference

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

A homesteading theology professor with 10 children and an extensive background in education is the keynote speaker at the Diocese of Superior’s 62nd annual Fall Conference on Friday, Oct. 25, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rice Lake.

Dr. Ryan Hanning will travel from Joelton, Tennessee, to give two addresses on this year’s theme, “Delight in the Lord.” Hanning’s experiences include teaching, youth ministry, international speaking, diocesan work and writing. He teaches church history and theology, and has served in academic administration and created graduate-level education programs for Catholic and classical school teachers.

Hanning’s talks are titled, “Happiness: The Purpose of Catholic Education,” and “Building Habits for Lasting Happiness.” He will also offer an afternoon breakout session, “Engaging Parents as Primary Educators: Battle Tested Ways of Empowering Parents.”

Peggy Schoenfuss, diocesan superintendent of schools, said, “He does some talks about Catholic education … what our call is in Catholic education, how to be missionary disciples,” adding that his focus will be sharing the faith – through happiness and through engaging parents in the educational process.
