The Cornerstone Ministry Conference (CMC) is held every year to provide ongoing leadership development and spiritual re-energizing for members of all Branch Ministry Teams. This is also the time when members from around the country gather to receive information from Catholic theologians on the next year’s study and to catch the Spirit of God and the spirit of The Cornerstone for the coming year.
