One in Christ: A Church Unity Conference is a day set aside to explore a question many Catholics assume they already know the answer to — what does it truly mean to be in full communion with the Catholic Church?
Through the Traditional Latin Mass, teaching from clergy on the Church’s authority and the role of the papacy, and honest personal testimony, this conference examines what unites the faithful to Christ’s Church — and why validity of the sacraments alone is not the same as communion with her.
This is not a conference about correction. It is a conference about clarity — for those who want to understand full communion more deeply, for those currently part of or drawn to communities operating outside it, and for anyone walking alongside a family member or friend on that journey.
The day includes the Traditional Latin Mass, talks from clergy and lay speakers on ecclesiology, canon law, and personal testimony, and a Q&A panel with all speakers.
Open to men and women.
Speakers: Fr. Eric Andersen, Fr. Todd Molinari, Fr. Samuel Spiering, Andrew Mioni, Deacon James Thurman
Tickets: $30 general admission (Mass, talks, Q&A, fellowship). Lunch available separately as a $25 add-on.
