Insight and Innovation for Catholic Builders and Givers

Each month, one thing that is shaping the Church right now, the latest research, news from new apostolates, the people behind the work, and time for your questions.

### Featuring Hans Plate

Founder & President of Vinea Research Group, presenting findings from The Catholic Pulse Report: The Confession Study

Come and see what new research is revealing about Confession in the Church today: a national study exploring why Catholics go to Confession, why they stay away, what might bring them back, and what faithful, data-driven research can make possible for the Church.

Monday, September 28, 2026 · 2:00 PM Eastern

### For vocation directors, priests, religious, and diocesan leaders

What the research means for those who hear confessions and form the people who will. One hour, with Q&A.
