We hope you are all having a well-deserved, restful summer and enjoying vacation! Here at MODG, we are so excited to be spending our summer and fall holding multiple MODG conferences and Meet & Greets, and we hope you can join us for one! In the words of Director of Advancement Christopher Sebastian, the opportunity to come together at these conferences serves "as an excellent way to build community, hear each other's stories, and reinforce our commitment to the mission that is Catholic, Classical Home Education."
Check out the below list to see where we will be this year! If you are local to any of the in-person events and are interested in more information, please reach out to us at communications@modg.org.
