The Institute on the Catechism is proud to host its fifth Convocation this summer in Mundelein, IL. The convocation will bring together bishops from across the United States, heads of catechetical offices and centers, Catholic school superintendents, and publishers of catechetical materials to discuss how we can continue the work of an evangelizing catechesis in our country. Prayer, networking with other catechetical leaders, and learning from experts will be the heart of the Convocation.

The Convocation takes place on the beautiful grounds of the University of St. Mary of the Lake. The choice to convene on holy ground is deliberate, as this allows each of us to encounter the Lord as we partake of the sacramental and devotional life of the Church. Jesus says, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” The event will begin 3pm on Monday, June 28th (with guest check-in at 1pm) and end with Mass at 11am on Thursday, July 1st.

Registration is $725 and includes a room and all meals.

Registration is now open.
