Preliminary Schedule

 

36th Annual Conference

The "Forgotten Sacraments"
Marriage • Holy Orders • Reconciliation • Anointing of the Sick
June 16 - 18, 2008
at the University of Notre Dame

These four sacraments are, of course, part of the life of every parish community. This conference will explore how each of these sacraments in its liturgical celebration connects us to the Paschal Mystery within an ecclesiology of communion. In other words, because these are sacraments of the Church, Christ's life operates through them. And not only does the Church celebrate the sacraments, but the celebration of the sacraments shapes the Church.

Our keynote address will lay out the connections between Paschal Mystery/Church/sacraments, and the four remaining plenary sessions will each deal with one of sacraments.
