Dear John, 

We're excited to celebrate and share the experience of our 28th annual Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry. Nearly 250 faith leaders, preachers, plenary speakers, moderators, and guests joined together on the storied grounds of CDF Haley Farm for our first in-person Proctor Institute event since 2019.

Thank you to those who were able to attend the event in-person or virtually. We hope everyone’s time in worship, workshops, and beloved community renewed a desire to continue the hard, hopeful, sacred work of pursuing justice for children and youth and ending child poverty.

If you were unable to attend Proctor Institute this year, you can still enjoy the best of what the event had to offer. Watch sermons from the event and learn more about connecting with the Proctor community on our website. 

Stay connected to the Proctor community throughout the year by joining the CDF Proctor Facebook group.

Thank you for being a part of our community, 

Rev. Cherisna Jean-Marie, M.Div
