Join us at Loyola University Chicago's Lakeshore Campus on August 1-3, 2023!

The 2023 National Gathering on Christian Initiation™ is an opportunity to recalibrate your ministry—not only considering what has been done, but where the Church wants us to go. The forthcoming implementation of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) invites us to breathe new life into parish ministry. We will all better exemplify Church if we take to heart what the OCIA teaches us about our life in Christ and our vocation to be Christ’s missionary disciples. Join us in August as we all have the opportunity to BEGIN ANEW!

We invite you to join us as we examine the model of how the early Church formed catechumens. Together we will walk the path of the catechumen through the periods and rites of the Christian initiation process. We will experience and be inspired by ritual so that we can rekindle the fire in our ministry and bear witness to how the rites echo our faith.
