Engagements
Since Fr. Hurley first became involved in the essential mission of the Church, he has spoken before countless parishes.
In many parishes, Fr. Hurley did consultation with pastoral leaders, pastoral councils and staffs. In many he has conducted missions during Lent and the Easter Season. He has keynoted at many national Catholic organizations over the years and in over 100 dioceses in the United States. And, in many instances he has returned for other engagements or to speak with particular constituencies in the dioceses.
Below are just some of the many recent and upcoming engagements.
“We need to move ‘from a pastoral ministry of mere conservation to a decidedly missionary pastoral ministry.’”Pope Francis, EG#15
