The Center for Family Care hosted a conference titled "The Orthodox Family in a Changing World" in an effort to explore critical issues in the family life-cycle and practical methods to address them in the parish and the home. The conference was held September 20-23, 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA.

The conference welcomed clergy, pastoral-care workers, ministry leaders, and laypersons interested in the development of family ministry in their parishes. A generous grant from Leadership 100 aided in funding the event.
