'For I know what plans I have in mind for you-declares the Lord... to give you a future and hope.' Jer 29:11

Parish clergy and leadership teams are invited to get ahead of the curve and begin 2025 with a special day of formation and planning. Join us for an inspiring line-up of keynote talks and practical workshops that focus on missionary vision, leadership excellence, and collaboration—key elements of a vital parish, as outlined in the Take the Way of the Gospel Framework for Parish Renewal.

No matter your parish's leadership structure or current plans, this is the perfect opportunity to share ideas with others, connect as a parish team, and be equipped to chart a hopeful path toward missionary renewal.
