We are thrilled to invite you to the Lay Mission and Vocation Conference in Rome from October 9-13, 2024. This event marks the 60th anniversary of the Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, a pivotal document highlighting laypeople’s essential role in the Church and the world.¹

Why Attend?

1. Celebrate a Historic Milestone: This conference commemorates the profound impact of Lumen Gentium, particularly its emphasis on the laity’s mission and vocation. It’s a unique opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the contributions of laypeople over the past six decades.
2. Engage with Thought Leaders: Hear from distinguished speakers like Professor Danièle Hervieu-Léger, a sociologist of religion, and Fr Eric Mahieu, an expert on Yves Congar’s theology of the laity.¹ Their insights will deepen your understanding of the laity’s role in a synodal Church.
3. Participate in Meaningful Discussions: The conference will feature panel discussions, workshops, and keynote presentations on topics ranging from the origins of the Theology of the People to the practical applications of lay apostolate in today’s world.¹
4. Network with Global Participants: Connect with lay apostolate movements and individuals from around the world. This is a chance to build relationships, share experiences, and collaborate on future initiatives.
5. Experience Rome’s Rich Heritage: The conference includes special events such as a Mass at the Catacombs and a visit to St Michael Archangel in Pietralata, offering a blend of spiritual enrichment and cultural immersion.¹
