• We will consider how intentional preparation — of catechumens, candidates, ministers, and the assembly — lays the foundation for powerful liturgical experiences.
• We will look at the beauty and meaning behind celebrating the rites with reverence, creativity, and style — what the Church calls ars celebrandi.
• And we will explore how mystagogical reflection shapes us for lives of missionary discipleship.
This gathering is designed for initiation teams, clergy, liturgists, musicians, catechists, and anyone who desires to bring new life to the way their community celebrates the OCIA. Come be inspired, equipped, and renewed in your ministry.
Presenters, hotel rate, and registration costs (including early bird and group registrations) will be available in September 2025.
