Keynote Speaker: Bishop J. Kevin Boland

We are delighted to have Bishop J. Kevin Boland as our keynote speaker. Bishop Boland is a native of Cork Ireland. He was ordained for the Diocese of Savannah, GA in 1959 where he served as Curate, Pastor, Vicar General, and Diocesan Administrator before being ordained Bishop of Savannah in 1995. During his tenure as pastor of St. Anne Parish in Columbus, GA from 1983 until 1995, Bishop Boland initiated one of the first stewardship efforts in the diocese. Eighteen years later, this parish was recognized as one of the outstanding stewardship parishes in the country and awarded the Archbishop Murphy Award at the ICSC Conference. His commitment to the totality of stewardship as a way of life continues as you will hear in his presentation. Bishop Boland's presentation is entitled: "The Heart of Stewardship".
