Thank you to all the clergy, ministers, and leaders from across the Archdiocese who joined us for our Archdiocesan Convocation, a meaningful day of renewal, learning, and connection!

We kicked things off with inspiring keynotes from Archbishop Shawn McKnight and pastoral communication consultant Helen Osman. Archbishop McKnight shared his vision for the future of our Archdiocese, while Helen reminded us of the power of communion, participation, and mission in building a unified Church. The day continued with breakout sessions and a thoughtful panel discussion led by Communications Director Marissa Easter, featuring Archbishop McKnight, Fr. Mark Mertes (Vicar General & Vicar for Priests), Fr. Anthony Saiki (Chancellor & Promoter of Justice), and Helen.

Rooted in prayer and shared purpose, we spent time reflecting on how the Holy Spirit is calling us to walk together: listening, discerning, and serving with love. This journey helps us strengthen our parishes, reach those on the margins, and welcome everyone into our Catholic community.

Thank you to our event organizers and volunteers!
