It is hard to believe that just a few short months ago we were in Alexandria.

The Board of Directors and the Atlanta Planning Team are already hard at work planning for DISC 2016. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see at the conference, please contact one of the Board Members.

Board of Directors

previewDISC 2015

The entire board of directors and the membership would like to extend a heartfelt Thank you to the Diocese of Alexandria for so graciously hosting the 2015 conference and their unending hospitality.

For all who attended this year’s conference it was great to see you. This year it was truly exciting to welcome 21 new attendees, Our goal is to see if we can top that number in 2016.

Our vendors once again require a thank you for their generosity and presence.

And to all those who helped plan the conference, all those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and our volunteers a big Thank YOU.

Congratulations to the Archdiocese of Brooklyn, this year’s winner of the Rev. Douglas Tobin award for diocesan vocations.

Hopefully you were able to take the information gleaned from the conference and implemented it in your dioceses.

You can access conference materials by going to conferences.discinfo.org and clicking on Access Resources.
