LTP Training Conference

Friday-Saturday, August 23-24, 2024

Registration will open Monday, July 1st, 2024!

A conference for parish leaders, initiation ministers, and regional or diocesan trainers, this training opportunity will explore the theoretical and practical aspects of initiation ministry. Through interactive sessions, meetings, and prayer opportunities, participants will understand more deeply that the vision of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the vision of the parish as a community of disciples.

What RCIA/OCIA leaders and teams can expect: 

  • Fellowship with initiation ministers from around the midwest.
  • Interactive multimedia presentations and expert training.
  • Opportunities for prayerful reflection on the liturgies of the RCIA/OCIA.
  • On-site bookstore to peruse and purchase helpful resources for your ministry.
