Join Us – National Conference: Co-Building the Church Our World Needs

National Conference – Co-Building the Church Our World Needs
March 2-4, 2027
Carmelite Spiritual Center, Darien, IL (near Chicago) 

When he first addressed the world’s faithful from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV shared his dream for God’s People: synodal, moving forward, seeking peace and drawing close to those who suffer. 

Together, we can bring this dream to life. The US Catholic Mission Association (USCMA) invites our members, Catholic leaders and all people committed to the mission of God to learn, discern and collaborate through our 2027 National Conference. 

Conference Highlights: 

• Dynamic synodal dialogue 

• Intentional networking opportunities 

• Keynote by Fr. Paul Lininger, Director of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation for the Our Lady of Angels Province of the Conventual Franciscan Friars 

• Keynote by Dr. Tracey Lamont of the Loyola Institute for Ministry on the encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas  

• Guided Tour of the National Shrine and Museum of St. Thérèse of Lisieux 

• Complimentary copy of Magnifica Humanitas (first 50 registrants)
