I dream of a 'missionary option,' that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today's world rather than for her self-preservation.- Pope Francis -

OverviewSacred Scripture tells us that "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he" (Proverbs 29:18). These gatherings, which will feature some of the brightest minds, leading some of the most fruitful ministries in the Church, are designed to impart to our diocese's leaders a common vision.
These will not be 'business' meetings; rather, they will be gatherings for formation and prayer. Each session will be held virtually and recorded for those who cannot attend. The time and structure for each will be very similar. See schedule below:
