The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, organized by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and held at the Anaheim Convention Center, is one of the largest annual gatherings for Catholic faith formation in the world. It brings together clergy, religious, catechists, parish leaders, educators, youth ministers, and lay faithful for days of prayer, liturgy, workshops, and keynote sessions addressing theology, catechesis, pastoral ministry, spirituality, and social issues.
Beyond the talks and liturgies, the Congress also features a vibrant exhibition hall where publishers, ministries, dioceses, religious congregations, and Catholic organizations connect, collaborate, and share resources, making it not just a conference but a global meeting point for the Church’s mission and renewal.
Liguori Publications at the Congress
We are happy to be part of this gathering once again with our booth representing Liguori Publications. We have been coming to this Congress for several years, and after the pause caused by COVID, this is our second year back in Anaheim. It is encouraging to reconnect with so many familiar faces and to meet new collaborators who are passionate about faith formation.
At our booth, we are showcasing our latest books and pastoral resources from Liguori Publications. Many visitors are parish catechists, Diocesan Religious education animators, school teachers, and pastoral leaders who are searching for solid, accessible materials to support their ministries. The conversations at the booth are not just about products, they are about mission. People come with real questions about how to reach families, how to form adults, and how to deepen parish life.
Introducing Redemptio app
This year, we are also introducing something new. Our app, REDEMPTIO, developed in collaboration with Holy Redeemer Foundation, India for Liguori Publications is now available for free download. Redemptio brings together e-books, podcasts, and videos in one platform. It is designed as a companion for daily spiritual growth, whether someone is commuting to work, preparing a lesson, or spending quiet time in prayer. In the future, it will move into a subscription model, but for now we are inviting everyone to explore it freely. We are grateful to be present, to share our work, and to build partnerships that strengthen the Church’s mission.
