The thematic conferences for members of pastoral teams, chaplains, mission & identity coordinators, is a formation event that is organised once every three years.
Meetings are organized in February/March.
Next events: 2026 (Loyola, Spain) and 2029 (place to be decided).
The main aims of this conference are:
- to provide a ‘retreat style’ experience for Mission & Identity Formators and Pastoral Coordinators;
- to deepen our understanding of Ignatian spirituality and pedagogy;
- to reflect together on our common mission in the context of today’s challenges;
- to support the formation of staff in our schools;
- to provide a unique opportunity for this combined audience to meet, share, and to build a European support group.
