Initially, the Spirituality Conference was designed for coordinators and catechists who minister in ECF (Eastern Christian Formation) programs in parishes of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh.
Over the years, this event has been open to any interested adults who desire to grow in their spiritual life. The format of the day usually includes three presenters who address the theme of the conference. Information about the Spirituality Conference is sent to all parishes of the Archeparchy and also welcomes all interested seekers from across the Metropolitan Church as well as other denominations.
