The second Jesus-Centered Life (JCL) Conference, led by the PAREF schools and Parousia Media, will be held from December 8-12, 2021.
The organizers of the event said in a press conference last October 13, 2021 that they hope to double the number of participants from last year, the target being 40,000 people.
Over 30 local and international speakers are expected to give talks adhering to this year’s theme, “Share the Joy.”
Some of the events will be streamed live such as the panel discussions and the daily Mass, as in the conference last year.
According to Dr. Raul Nidoy, PAREF Director of Personal Formation and author of the book Jesus-Centered: Guide to the Happiest Life, the theme “Share the Joy” is really based on the words of Pope Francis.
”We Christians have received the great news, and we are supposed to share this great news of God’s love,” Dr. Nidoy said, quoting Pope Francis.
Dr. Nidoy also said that the call to apostolate is a very important message but a truth many times forgotten.
Danny Moran, chairman and President of PAREF, wrapped up the press conference by inviting everyone to the event.
“If you want to really feel the joy, experience the conference,” Moran said.
