Carmelite Spiritual Center, Darrien, IL
(25 minutes from O’Hare and Midway airports)

Our virtual Member Meeting and 2027 Conference are pivotal moments to engage with major initiatives of our mission movement. These include:

• Our long-term strategic vision to engage individuals, especially young people and those on the margins of traditional Church structures, in mutual dialogue, discernment, and spiritual formation alongside you, our members, and other congregations, lay organizations and outreach ministries devoted to global, social and intercultural mission.
• Our support of authentic global communion and cooperation through the Church of the Sheaves initiative, which aims to form a generation of missionary disciples capable of discerning the cries of the poor and the earth and transforming the structures which diminish human dignity and wound ecclesial communion.
